When you join Lions, you may focus on how you will give back to others through service. What you may not immediately realize is how much Lions gives back to you. Becoming a Lion opens the door to experiencing more — more belonging, more purpose, more leadership and more community.

Yes, it is that time again. With the help of D40 LIONS, your New Mexico Lions Eye Foundation was able to support two cataract surgeries before the end of 2025….and there are 2 more applications in the works. Lions, the Foundation still needs your assistance. It takes funds to fulfill the dreams of those who need help. As of January 26th, there are 933 Lion Members in our District. Which one of You wants to step up and be the first to buy?

A new year is the perfect time to reflect on your service and fundraising priorities and explore how our global foundation can help you reach even higher. LCIF grants and programs enable Lions and Leos to expand our impact, supporting large-scale projects that no single Lion or club could accomplish alone.
