The Richmond Lions Club, located in the greater Vancouver area of British Columbia in Canada, has been a charter club of Lions Clubs International since 1946.
The Lions motto is "We Serve", and our club has been serving many deserving causes in the Richmond community since our charter was established.
To raise money for the various causes we support the Richmond Lions club has several fundraisers that we participate in throughout the year. Here are three of our recent money raising outings.

Covid has shut down a lot of events including our normal 2021 Sockeye Run. But we're working on something to try and fill the gap. Stay tuned and check back.
Each year the Richmond Lions club embarks on an number of fund raising projects - but where does the money we raise go?
The money raised by our club goes right back into the community. Every cent we raise at our events is returned to those who can use a little assistance, and unlike some organizations, this means every penny!
Here are some of our most recent recipients.
The Richmond Lions club has been a long time supporter of the Richmond Center for Disability. Each year we donate money to the RCD summer camp. This year we pledged $15,000 toward the purchase of two super computers and five years of software subscriptions to packages such as the Adobe suite of productivity tools and Microsoft Office. With these computers, RCD clients will have the opportunity to train one up-to-date machines with the latest software.
The car owners will bring toys or cash to donate to the Richmond Christmas Fund.
