Information

🌟 Join Us for a Fun-Filled Family Event! 🌟

This event is all about supporting two incredible causes while having a great time! 🏃‍♂️🎉 We’re raising funds for the Wisconsin Lions Camp for Children with Diabetes and the Grafton Lions Foundation—two organizations dedicated to making a real difference.

💙 Both organizations are 501(c)(3) nonprofits, meaning all donations are fully tax-deductible. Your support helps provide life-changing experiences for children with diabetes and aids local community initiatives through the Grafton Lions Foundation.

👟 Come run, walk, or cheer—every step helps make a difference! 🏅👏


Benefitting

Proceeds will go to benefit the Wisconsin Lions Camp for Children with Diabetes and the Grafton Lions Foundation.

The Wisconsin Lions Camp provides a camp experience free of charge to children with conditions such autism, blindness, hearing difficulties, and diabetes. The camp is located in Rosholt, Wisconsin and the camp experience is funded by donations from Lions Clubs throughout Wisconsin as well as private donations. The camp offers a variety of experiences to its participants with the aim of developing lifelong skills, including independence, teamwork, resiliency, and a sense of purpose.

The Grafton Lions Foundation raises funds to donate to a number of local non-profit organizations such as Ozaukee Family Services, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Family Sharing Food Bank, and college scholarships, Badger Boys and Badger Girls State, Advocates of Ozaukee County, and Portal Industries. We also support Wisconsin Eye Bank which provides corneas for transplant and Leader Dogs for the Blind.
