Lions Clubs International
We are very excited to report that S. 1299, the Lions Clubs International Century of Service Commemorative Coin Act, passed the U.S. Senate on Thursday, July 26! Now we need to get the House companion bill, H.R. 2139 passed by the U.S. House of Representatives. Congress is back in session next week so stay tuned for updates on our coin page.
Breaking News! S. 1299 passes the U.S. Senate, and H.R. 2139 reaches 290 co-sponsors! Congress reconvenes next week before going on Recess August 3. Stay tuned for updates next week!
In recognition of our 100th Anniversary in 2017, LCI is leading efforts to mint 400,000 silver dollars. This is the first step to commemorate our centennial - while raising millions to support our global mission areas for the visually impaired, disabled, youth and those affected by disaster. Lions from all over the globe are exploring similar commemorative campaigns locally.

Lions Clubs International Century of Service Commemorative Coin Act

We'd like to thank our most recent Senate co-sponsors for their support!
In June, the "Lions Clubs International Century of Service Commemorative Coin Act," S. 1299/H.R. 2139, was introduced in the U.S. Congress by Senator Jerry Moran, a Lion, and Congressman Peter Roskam thanks to Sandy Spring Lions Club, District 22-C, who formally proposed this opportunity to publicize our accomplishments and raise funds for the Lions Clubs International Foundation.

In order to pass this legislation, 290 co-sponsors in the U.S. House and 67 co-sponsors in the U.S. Senate need to sign on to this bill.

Here is where we need your help! View our current state progress to see if your legislators are co-sponsors. If not, visit the Action Center to find out how you can help!
