Sight For Kids - Whittier Host Lions Club

Sight for Kids, has for years been one of the club's most popular events. Last year the club paid for exams and glasses for over 120 local elementary students, plus one eye surgery and one set of contact lenses.

The Sight for Kids event brings the local community together to promote preventative eye care and provide financial assistance to children and young adults who are unable to afford proper eye care.

The club has joined Lions Clubs International in supporting initiatives for sight and hearing. Please feel welcome to lend your support the event.

Come join us for the 17th Annual Sight For Kids Wine Tasting and Dinner Event on June 23rd!

Contact: Alfred Campano

We are expecting more than 400 people to attend and enjoy the wine tasting and dinner event sponsored by the Whittier Host Lions Club. It will be held Saturday, March 23, 2013 in the Whittier Community Center.

Al Campano Chairman for the event, along with Whittier Host Lions Club President Eric Day would like to extend a big "Welcome to the event and Thank you" to the Whittier community for supporting our 18th annual “Sight for Kids, Etc” event last June.

There will be a wide variety of wines and delicious food from local restaurants and wineries for folks to sample. The evening includes the auction of more than 100 valuable prizes and several raffles. Auction items will include a gourmet dinner for 8, tickets to Lakers, Dodgers, and Angel games, and jewelry from Whittier Jewelry Mart.

Eighteen area restaurants offering their taste-delights during the event, and the Cal High Culinary Arts Academy will provide dessert. Fourteen area wineries will offer their beverages to sample.

Campano and Casford termed our past event a “great success,” and thanked the dozens of Lions who helped. Proceeds enable the club to increase its support for children's sight conservation and other deserving community service programs.

Whittier Host Lions is an all volunteer organization - all funds raised at the event are being directed back into the community. The club appreciates the Whittier community's support for this annual event.
