Duck, Duck, JEEP- FAQ's

Who are the South Attleboro Lions?- We are a local Chapter of the LIONS Club International Foundation, www.lionsclubs.org. We are a group a volunteers dedicated to helping our local community and globally through hands-on work. 

What do the South Attleboro Lions Do? Besides our efforts with globally with Lions International locally we raise funds to build ramps all over the Attleboro area and as far as Seekonk for the needy in our area, we give scholarships to AHS & BFHS seniors, we collect glasses and hearing aids, we collect food, raise funds for local food panties and for heat assistance, we bring eye cams to the local schools and so much more.

What are you raising the money for? We are raising more for our local club to continue doing this great work. Just one example is it costs over 20,000 dollars just to service and maintain the ramps we currently have out on loan and the call for ramps increases monthly. With that comes the need for more inventory and storage. We strive to help as many people as we can with our efforts. Your help will go a long way. Thank you for your support.

Why add a Jeep Meet to a duck race ? Well Jeeps have become very popular in recent years and Ducking Jeeps is a trendy friendship thing that has made jeeps and rubber ducks go together like peanut butter and jelly! It is a very popular past time for Jeepers, so we thought we'd bring the two together for a fun community event and raise some money for our Attleboro LIONS local causes.
