The Greater Carroll Lions Club is raising money to benefit these main initiatives:
Diabetes Awareness & Research: Lions Clubs International – the world's largest volunteer organization – announced in 2017 it will mobilize its 47,000 service clubs in 200 countries around a new signature cause - the global diabetes epidemic. The organization, founded 103 years ago, unveiled diabetes as a new focus for its 1.4 million members.
Lions Camp Merrick: Located in southern Maryland, Lions Camp Merrick offers non-stop fun for local children who are Deaf, Blind or are Type 1 Diabetic and are between the ages 6-16. Campers will participate in a “traditional overnight camp” experience supervised by trained and caring counselors. They also offer Family Diabetic Camp and Sibling Diabetic Camp for type 1 diabetic campers and their family members.
