AMERICA'S VETDOGS- THIRD PARTY EVENTS

MERRICK LIONS CLUB 8TH ANNUAL GOLF OUTING - September 9, 2024, Muttontown, NY

Welcome to the 2024 Merrick Lions Club Golf Outing. This year marks 108 years Lions have been servicing communities. We are the world’s largest service organization. Since the inception of the Merrick Lions Club in 2009, our passion has been in serving the needs of children and veterans. Our support has been in both donations and in time. Here are some of the charities we have supported: United Cerebral Palsy, The National Amputation Foundation, Juvenile Diabetes, The Long Island Crisis Center, Boy and Girl Scouts of America, and America’s VetDogs where we have sponsored a Marine with a service dog.

We also support Lions Club International helping with disaster relief funding. We actively collect eye glasses and hearing aids, support our high school students with Scholarships for those who show a propensity to make service part of their journey. In 2010, the club established The Merrick Lions Club Foundation, a charitable 501(c)3 organization so donations will be tax exempt. Helping those who are less fortunate drives our mission for fundraising. If what we do resonates with you, think about coming to one of our meetings and see if joining our club is something which may work for you. We hope you can help us make this event better than last year’s.
