The following is a service/donation challenge to all clubs in District 22B from the Ridgely Lions and Lion Dave Davis.
My fellow Lions, Lionesses and Leos in District 22B, I have a service/fundraising event proposal for your club. This service/fundraiser only requires a $100-dollar investment by your club. Each year in April the Ronald McDonald House Charities Maryland (RMHC-MD) sponsors a 5K fun run and walk called the Red Shoe Shuffle (RSS). You may have heard of it, (for more info go to https://rmhcmaryland.org/red-shoe-shuffle/ and for the Run/Walk info visit the signup site here: https://runsignup.com/Race/MD/Baltimore/RedShoeShuffle).
The RSS helps support the operation of the RMHC-MD house in Baltimore, MD. The RMH provides a community of support and the comforts of home to families with critically ill children, while they are seeking medical treatment they need, with the family they love.
I am once again proposing that the Lions, Lionesses and Leo Clubs in District 22B support the 2024 Annual RMHC-MD Red Shoe Shuffle with a sponsorship goal of $5,000 dollars. This may seem like a lot, but if you divide that goal by 48 Lions Clubs at $100/club = $4,800 + nine (9) Leo Clubs at $100/club = $900, then we have the potential to exceed our goal with a total of $5,700 dollars if all the clubs in 22B participate. So, what do you say Lions, can we hear you ROAR and support the Ronald McDonald House Charities?
So, what do we, the District 22B Lions get for our $100 donation? Lions, Lionesses and Leos supporting and networking with a great cause and a world class charity. The Lions Club International (LCI)/22B logo on t-shirts worn by over 3,000 participants and volunteers. LCI is linked to the RMHC-MD website and Facebook pages, our logo on the RSS literature and registrations and a LION’S face-to-face connection with the patients, their families, participants, and volunteers.
What do you say Lions? Can we all do this together and support the Ronald McDonald House Charities Maryland by being a sponsor for the 2024 Red Shoe Shuffle? Please forward your checks made payable to the RMHC-MD by April 19, 2024, to the Ronald McDonald House – Maryland, 1 Aisquith Street, Baltimore, MD 21202. Attention: Debbie Hood.
