Poplar Bluff Missouri Lions Club
The Poplar Bluff Missouri Lions club is holding its' annual fundraising TV Auction. Each year we hold the auction to raise fund for our eyeglass program which is the major focus of the Club.
The eyeglass program provides eye exams and glasses for those in need in our community. Most of the recipients are students referred to us by the school counselors. Most are in grades K thru 6 and come to the attention of the teacher because they cannot see the board or are having trouble seeing their school work. These students are means tested to make sure that they have no other source of funds to pay for the glasses. The eye exam and glasses and other sight services are then provided free for the child. Last year the Poplar Bluff Lions Club spent over $12,000 on this project. All proceeds from the fundraiser go to help people and the lions’ club members donate their time effort (and money) toward this cause. We also have an agreement with the local optometrist to reduce their fees by half to allow us to help more people. This year we expect the demand to again increase, so this fundraiser is more important than ever for the kids of our area.
