Middleton Lions Club
We Serve
Lions serve. It’s that simple, and it has been since we first began in 1917. Our clubs are places where individuals join together to give their valuable time and effort to improving their communities, and the world.

The Lions Challenge
This is the opportunity I offer you, Lions—to foster and sponsor the work of the American Foundation for the Blind. Will you not help me hasten the day when there shall be no preventable blindness, no little deaf blind child untaught, no blind man or woman unaided? I appeal to you, Lions—you who have your sight, your hearing, you who are strong and brave and kind—will you not constitute yourselves Knights of the Blind in my crusade against darkness?

Community Involvement and Support Efforts
100% of our income goes to help fund these programs:
Middleton Lions Club Projects
Our "Signature Project"
Restoring Hope Transplant House
…a “home away from home” for patients who are in the Madison area for organ, bone marrow or other transplants. The transplant house is not a medical facility. It is a caring environment that offers high quality, affordable accommodations for patients and their adult family members/caregivers. In addition to physical housing, the House offers hospitality, compassion, and hope to support the healing journey for the patients and their family.
Vision
Ever since Helen Keller inspired the Lions to champion the cause in 1925, we’ve served and advocated for the blind and visually impaired. Nearly a century later, this long-standing mission continues unhindered. Locally, we continue this vision related support.
Diabetes
More than 37 million people in the United States have diabetes, and 1 in 5 of them don’t know they have it. Education and access to proper nutrition are important tools to help prevent a Leading Cause of Blindness Worldwide.
Youth
Our local efforts in Middleton includes support for scouting efforts, Reach-A-Child “to comfort a child-in-crisis with a book”, in addition to local school projects and high school scholarships.
Fundraising - How We Raise Funds
As with all things, many hands make light work! Our income is derived from these events, 100% of which goes back into the community:
Annual Fundraisers
Our two major fundraisers are our Drive “Fore” Sight Al Ripp and Jim Teff Memorial Golf Outing and our efforts at the Middleton Good Neighbor Festival.
Our fundraising is also supported with our year round mints and gumball sales and various 50-50 raffles at various events throughout the year.
