Pottsville Lions Charities, Inc. Endowment Fund
Established 2009
The Pottsville Lions Club is looking to the future by investing with Schuylkill Area Community Foundation (SACF). The Pottsville Lions Club’s motto, as all Lions Club’s, is “We Serve,” and that is the direction the club is taking by establishing two separate funds with the Community Foundation. SACF has provided the tools and direction needed to take this step. The club members and Charities Committee are excited that now, as a result of their efforts in organizing the annual Great Pottsville Cruise, the Battle of the Hills and other fundraisers, they are able to invest in the future of our youth. The endowment fund and scholarship fund will provide opportunity to local youth, recognize the efforts of club members and volunteers, and leave a legacy of service to others in our community. This is a new chapter in the Pottsville Lions Club’s history, but consistent with the community spirit that led to the founding of the Lions Ambulance Service over fifty years ago.
We are hopeful that as time goes on others will take the opportunity to invest in the Lions Funds, adding their own family legacy of community service. As current Presidents of the Pottsville Lions Club and Lions Club Charities, and on behalf of all of our members, we thank the SACF for their assistance in making this foundation and scholarship fund another way for us to proudly say “WE SERVE!”
