LCIF Launches Text Donation Program
**FYI: For you new Lions out there…North America is part of Constitutional Area I. And Gudrun Yngvadottir, LCIF Chairperson, was the LCI President last year, 2018-2019.
Here’s her letter to us below:
Dear Constitutional Area I Lion,
I am excited to share LCIF – your foundation – has launched a text-to-donate program. For now, the text-to-donate program is only available for Constitutional Area I. We are exploring a text-to-donate program for other Constitutional Areas (CA) where possible.
We see communities are in need and caring Lions are ready to change it. But the reality is this: comfort and compassion alone cannot heal those suffering through disease, disaster, and other devastation. It takes funding. It takes Campaign 100: LCIF Empowering Service. While Lions are doing and giving, we need your help to make our efforts go even further!
Here are the ways you can text-to-donate:
- Text LCIF to 243725.
- Make a donation online at https://donate.onecause.com/lcif.
If every Lion in CA I donated $5, we would fund more:
- Lions Quest programs for classrooms
- Immediate relief to victims of natural disaster
- Diabetes screenings
- Equipment for young cancer patients
- Access to food for chronically hungry people
- Access to clean water
Thank you for your contribution and don’t forget to share our text-to-donate program with your family, friends, and fellow Lions in CA I. Your donation will support the efforts of Lions clubs and partners in serving communities locally and globally, giving hope and impacting lives through humanitarian service projects and grants.
In friendship,
Gudrun Yngvadottir
Chairperson, Lions Clubs International Foundation
