Lions Clubs of Australia
Dr George Owen approached a Lions Club in 1999 looking for a donation to help the fledgling Spinal Cord Society of Australia Inc.
In its search for a cure.
This Club was so moved that it not only donated to the cause, it took the story to a larger audience. Within 12 months Lions had created the Lions Australia Spinal Cord Fellowship as a National project of Lion, giving all 1400 Lions Clubs across Australia the opportunity to raise funds for research into spinal cord repair.
Lions Clubs individually conduct many and varied activities in an effort to raise funds for this project including Sausage sizzles, Trash & Treasure sales and Fun Runs.
These events along with the national recycling effort involving the collection of aluminium can ring pulls are just some of the ways Lions Clubs of Australia raise more than $100,000 per year in support of StepAhead.
