At this time of year, the Stittsville District Lions Club conducts its Annual Fundraising Campaign, raising funds to help the less fortunate. The club supports various groups such as the Stittsville Food Bank, Salvation Army, Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice, local hospitals, children’s camps for blind, diabetic, cancer and patients on dialysis as well as local sports teams. We also support individuals such as post-secondary students with scholarships, people in need of basic utilities and those in need of glasses, special foot wear, expensive drugs and much more.
This year we are supporting a young Stittsville man that has been diagnosed with a rare, serious and painful eye disease. We need $25,000 to help him get the needed medical help in the United Kingdom. 100% of the funds raised go directly to the causes we support. The money we seek for this cause will go directly towards the treatment, travel and accommodations abroad. This is a considerable increase over previous year’s donations. Please help spread the word, we rely on the community to help us, help others.
For a minimum donation of $125, received before November 15, 2017, we will recognize your support with a personalized sign displayed at the Village Square Park at Abbott and Stittsville Main Street. The Lions Club also takes care of lighting this park over the Christmas season.
Any size donation is most appreciated. An Income Tax Receipt will be provided upon request. For more information please contact me at darryl.metzger@edwardjones.com or 613-831-8028
