Who We Serve

Brown County Lions Club is a group of service-minded men and women who are interested in improving our community.
To be a Lion is to be an active volunteer, a member of a respected international organization, a leader in the community and a friend to people in need.
Globally, the 1.4 million members that serve in over 45,000 clubs from over 200 countries make Lions Clubs International the world’s largest service club organization.

Scholarships

The Brown County Lions Club awards college scholarships to  Brown County residents. They are chosen from a deserving group of applicants, based on their service to school and community, their character, their academic ability, and the special circumstances of their lives. County residents must be a 2020 or 2021 high school graduate pursuing an academic or vocational college degree. The five, one-year awards are in the amount of $1,000 each and are provided through fund raising projects and scholarship endowments by the Brown County Lions Club.
