LIONS AWARNESS DAY 2026
Runaway Bay Lions Club will be holding a Lions Awareness Day on Saturday 7 March 2026 at the Runaway Bay Centre from 10am to 3pm (near Suncorp Bank). You are invited to come along and meet our local dedicated and hard-working volunteers and find out the incredible work Lions do in our community & how you can get involved.
Australian Lions Clubs have been helping those in need in Australia & Overseas, for more than 77 years. Providing emergency relief during natural disasters and supporting farming communities during floods, droughts or fires. Supporting critical medical research into childhood cancers and diabetes, or working on local environmental programs.
That’s why we are taking the opportunity to tell our story on Lions Awareness Day. We want you to know more about what we do and the causes we support. So, if you are at Runaway Bay Centre on Saturday March 7, make sure you stop by and say hello!
