In 1925, Helen Keller challenged Lions Club members to become “Knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness.”
Nearly a century later, Lions Club members around the world continue to honor that call through projects that prevent blindness, restore sight and improve eye health for millions. Today, sight-related programs remain at the heart of Lions Clubs’ global mission.
The Key Biscayne Lions Club has a proud and enduring history in our Island Paradise. Chartered in 1953, it is the community’s oldest continuously operating service organization. Lions are friends, family and neighbors united by one belief: Together We Serve. Guided by this spirit, the club actively supports a wide range of community service projects.
This annual Directory it’s a tradition that celebrates the people and businesses that make Key Biscayne such a special place. It provides a convenient reference of residents and businesses, while also serving as the Club’s main source of funding for its charitable programs. It preserves a living history of Key Biscayne, celebrating our island’s people, families and traditions through stories and shared memories.
Your support sustains vital organizations that assist the sight- and hearing-impaired, including:
• Beauty of Sight (formerly the Lions Eye Bank), whose mission is to recover, process, and distribute corneal tissue for vision-restoring transplants and advance ophthalmic research.
• Leader Dogs for the Blind and Southeastern Guide Dogs, providing trained guide dogs for the visually impaired.
• Lions Center for the Blind, Lions Diabetes Awareness, Miami Lighthouse for the Blind, and Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, among others.
Together, we continue to make a lasting impact, serving our neighbors and keeping Helen Keller’s vision alive.
