Lions ROAR Challenge

Clubs can participate by encouraging your Lions members to sponsor new Lions. Every Lion who sponsors a new member is eligible for the Lions Roar Challenge. To help your members, you can have the DG and her team do a program, coaching members to create their own Lions pitch to start the conversation to attract new people to become Lions. Each club will nominate their Roar Challenger to compete with the other clubs at District Convention to become the Lions Roar Champion! The Challengers will be awarded a Lions shirt and the Champion will receive a donation toward LCIF or LIF causes of their choice in their name.
