Fayetteville Lions ClubFundraisers
Most of the outstanding Service Projects conducted by the Fayetteville Lions require funds. The club tries its best to conduct fundraisers where the public can donate to our very good works, but at the same time get something of value in return. 100% of the money earned through Lion fundraising projects is spent for our service projects. Our administrative expenses are funded entirely from Lions member dues, fees and fines.

Our Fundraisers: |
Diabetes
Awareness Roadblock.
The Lions conduct a "Roadblock" collection of donations at high
traffic
intersections throughout Fayetteville on the Saturday after
Thanksgiving. Passing motorist are provided a flyer or handout on
diabetes awareness and related health information in exchange for the
donation of their choice. Due to safety concerns, this fundraiser
was cancelled in 2020 and may or may not be held in 2021.
Football
and Basketball Tournament
Concessions & Gate. The annual Football
Jamboree in August and Basketball Tournament later each Fall are both
conducted primarily as a service to the local 7th - 9th grade schools.
But the Lions also use the opportunity to collect some monies for our
service project funds. This includes profits over costs for the
concession stand at both events, and also profit above operating
expenses from entrance gate fees at the basketball tournament. (For the
Football Jamboree, all gate receipts in excess of our costs to conduct
the Jamboree, are returned to the participating schools.)

Sports
Program Ads. In the Spring and Summer of each year
the Lions sell program "ads" to local businesses and organizations
(individual ads are also welcome). These ads are printed in a
sports program that is distributed to all attendees of our Football
Jamboree and Basketball Tournament. The donor can provide their own ad
copy.
Pecan Sales.
The Pecan Sales Project has been ongoing by the Lioness Club for over 35
years with the same supplier company. The Lionesses have now joined the
Lions Club. There are 2 pecan choices: Large Mammoth Halves and Large
Mammoth Pieces. As always, they are guaranteed to be “this year’s crop”
and they will be shelled in October. The project includes pre-sales
during September and early October and booth sales during the Host of Christmas
Past on the second weekend in November. The pecans are sold for $15/one pound bag. Contact any Lion or the Committee Chair Myrna Reed, 931-433-5080.
