The Urbana Lion’s Club is one of the oldest service clubs in Urbana and with support from local companies like yours; we hope to continue to remain a vital support group for our community. Service groups such as the Urbana Lion’s Club are very important to Urbana.
OUR VISION
To be the global leader in community and humanitarian service. Lions serve. It’s that simple, and it has been since we first began in 1917. Our clubs are places where individuals join together to give their valuable time and effort to improving their communities, and the world.
Where Does our money go?
How do we give back to the community?
We believe in assisting the community with their vision needs, pilot dogs, and donating to the community in general. This past year we are able to give three $1,000 scholarships to local students. We also assist local school students and community members with their eyeglass needs, along with those that cannot afford glasses.
The Urbana Lion’s Club is very active in the community. A few of our fundraisers include: |

I have been a Lion for 3 years. What I love most about being a Lion is the camaraderie amongst members and as a club we are actively looking for ways to benefit the community. I became a Lion because I was searching for a community service organization that was actually active in the community and not one just for status. The Lions Club also has a lot of my colleagues that I serve on other committees and boards with. It is a great organization! I am also apart of the Flag committee within the Lions Club.
Treasurer: Bob NuzumI Joined Lions in 2014. I am a retired Senior Audit Manager, an auditor of state, and I was a CPA and CFE.
