TEGA CAY, SC – April 11, 2024 – Today marks a monumental milestone for the Tega Cay Lions Club as it celebrates half a century of dedicated service, humanitarian efforts, and profound impact on the local and global community. Established in 1974, the club has been at the forefront of initiatives aimed at improving health and wellbeing, strengthening community bonds, and offering support to those in need across the globe.
Over the years, the Tega Cay Lions Club has become synonymous with selfless service and compassionate outreach, touching the lives of countless individuals through a wide range of programs and activities. The club’s enduring mission to empower its members, volunteers, and partners has been the driving force behind its remarkable journey of 50 years.
The club’s calendar is filled with events that not only serve the community but also bring people together in the spirit of generosity and fellowship. Among its signature initiatives are the eagerly anticipated annual Easter Egg Hunt, which provides joy and entertainment to the children of Tega Cay, and the college scholarship program, which supports the educational aspirations of the city’s youth. The Annual Fish Fry, a much-loved tradition, not only raises funds for various causes but also celebrates the tight-knit community spirit of Tega Cay.
A cornerstone of the Tega Cay Lions Club’s efforts is its commitment to vision health. Through Lions Vision Services, the club empowers the under-served blind and visually impaired individuals in South Carolina, advocating for a society where preventable blindness is eliminated, and those affected have the resources to lead safe, meaningful, and fulfilling lives. The club’s eyeglass donations and recycling program exemplifies this commitment, providing the gift of sight to those in need both locally and around the world.
The Tega Cay Citizen of the Year Award is another testament to the club’s dedication to recognizing and celebrating community service and leadership. This accolade honors individuals who embody the Lions’ spirit of service, highlighting the impact one person can have in making a difference in the lives of others.
As the Tega Cay Lions Club commemorates its 50th anniversary, it reflects on a legacy of service that has not only changed lives but also inspired a culture of humanitarianism and volunteerism. The club’s enduring mission, to serve and to lead with kindness, has indeed fostered peace and international understanding, creating a ripple effect of positive change across communities near and far.
The club’s golden anniversary is not just a celebration of its past achievements but also a beacon of hope and inspiration for future generations to continue the legacy of service.
