Georgia Lions Lighthouse Foundation was the dream of a blind man, Atlanta Lions Club member Tom Bingham. In 1949, the Atlanta Lions Club led by Bingham, along with Moultrie and Albany Lions, each contributed $1,000, and Georgia Lions Lighthouse Foundation was born. Since then, Lions Clubs have served as the cornerstone of the organization and maintain a vital role in the growth and reach of our mission: to create a better Georgia by bringing individuals into a world of sight. It is unacceptable that any Georgian is unable to access vision care. Yet today, there are 1.4 million Georgians who lack health care coverage. Research by Emory Eye Center also identified 52 counties in Georgia where there are few, if any, vision care providers. That is why Georgia Lions Lighthouse Foundation, in partnership with Georgia Lions, SERVED OVER 18,757 PATIENTS in FY23. We can do more with your help.
