Ever wonder what happens behind the scenes of Carnival Week? 🎡

Our annual Lions Club Carnival is more than a week of food, rides, games and fireworks. It’s one of our biggest fundraisers, organized and staffed largely by volunteers, with the money raised going right back into our community.

A few numbers that might surprise you:

• 1,200+ estimated volunteer hours
• 500 of those hours are just in the Lions kitchen
• 300+ hours running games
• Approximately $13,000 raised after carnival expenses

And where does that money go?

• Local youth sports
• Children’s Christmas Party & Easter Egg Hunt
• Halloween Parade
• Learn-to-Swim programs
• College scholarships
• Beacon Lodge Camp scholarships for individuals who are blind or visually impaired
• Eagle Scout projects
• Local charities and neighbors in need
• And more throughout the year

The people cooking your dinner, running games and working behind the scenes are volunteering their time to support the community we all share.

So when you eat at the Lions kitchen, play a game or support the carnival, that money doesn’t end with Carnival Week. It comes right back into our community all year long. ❤️

Want to be part of it? Become a Lion, volunteer for a shift, sponsor an activity or partner with us. We’d love to have you.

Thank you for supporting the carnival, our volunteers and our community! 🎡
