Our Mission

To empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions clubs.

History

The Cape Coral Lions Club was organized on September 26, 1926.

Local papers reported in 1928, the Cape Coral Lions Club passed a resolution, supporting the local inventor and pottery expert, C.P. Wilhelm and his new manufacturing process that created wood fibers from the Palmetto and Cabbage Palm.

In 1992, we formed the Cape Coral Lions Foundation so as to receive tax-exempt donations. We have also supported the various Lions entities in Florida, including the Florida Lions Foundation for the Blind, Southeastern Guide Dogs, Lions Cronklin Center and the Florida Eye Banks

However, the most significant accomplishment of the Cape Coral Lions Club during the past 97 years is the service we have brought to our Community. Eye Exams and Eye Glasses number in the tens of thousands, as do Hearing and Vision treatments, all provided by the dedication and hard work of our members and volunteers.

In August 2019, the Cape Coral Lions Club was presented with the Lions Clubs International Premier Centennial Club Award.

The Cape Coral Lions Club also received the 2019-2020 Club Excellence Award from Lions Club International.
