Knights of the Blind

In 1925, Helen Keller challenged Lions to become Knights of the Blind. Since that time, service to people with vision loss has become one of the association’s most significant activities.

Lions and Lioness clubs throughout Canada give generously to CNIB each year with donations in time and cash totaling more than $500,000 annually. Lions were a lead contributor to CNIB’s successful campaign to digitize the library and have pledged an amazing $1M to Restoring the Spirit: The Campaign for the CNIB Lake Joseph Centre in Ontario. They provide ongoing funding for CNIB’s vision rehabilitation services, including, but not limited to, CNIB Lions Low Vision Clinics, children’s services and camp programs, as well as support our organization through extensive volunteer participation.
