WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE
Since the club was chartered by the International Association of Lions Clubs on April 26, 1923 as the Lions Club of Tucson, Arizona, the Tucson Downtown Lions Club (TDLC) has served the less fortunate in Tucson, the State of Arizona, the nation, and the world through its fundraising and community service projects.
The Tucson Downtown Lions Club has and continues to support many organizations in Tucson including the University of Arizona Ophthalmology Clinic, SAAVI, ASDB, EMVIA, Sun Sounds of Arizona, Davidson School, and others. In addition to these, the club raises funds to directly provide sight and hearing services to those unable to afford them. These include eye examinations, eyeglasses, and hearing devices.
The clubs main fundraiser is the food and beverage concessions at the Tucson Rodeo held each February. The Club also conducts an annual White Cane Fund drive to provide funds for vision services. The Tucson Downtown Lions Club is a 501.3c non-profit corporation, therefore, your donations to our clubs charities are tax deductible.
Tucson Downtown Lions Club members are service minded men and women who strive to improve our community, the state, and the world. We work without monetary compensation to raise funds and conduct projects to improve our community.
With our continuing membership growth and leadership development, we strive to remain the leader in community service in Tucson.
Questions about membership in the Tucson Downtown Lions Club may be addressed to our Membership Director.
