The Elburn Lions Club is well known for their ability to step up and help those in need. We pride ourselves on being of assistance and personally changing the lives of the residents in our community for the better.  A request from the public for a benefit or fundraiser is assessed and approved on a one and one basis.

The Elburn Lions host the event providing volunteers as well as collect donations. Monetary donations as well as donations of services or items for raffles are sought from local businesses and residents. These items are then raffled off or bid on at silent or live auctions during the event. Also during the event, a meal is served and if possible, entertainment provided during the event.

We have been very fortunate to have wonderful neighbors and supporters in the Village of Elburn and surrounding communities. Our benefits and fundraisers have been very well attended and we are very grateful to the community for their support!

All proceeds from the event benefit Lions of Elburn Charities and are then donated to the family in need or are put towards the purchase of the specific item we were fundraising for.
