Chassell Lions

Chassell Lions Serving our community since 1946. Sponsors of Michigan's longest running festival - The Copper Country Strawberry Festival

The Chassell Lion's Club was chartered in May of 1946 to serve the needs of Lion's International, the County and in particular, the citizens of Chassell. Our one and only fundraiser, The Strawberry Festival, was originally established to support and honor the local strawberry growers. It has been recognized by the State of Michigan as the longest running festival of its kind. The revenue generate

d from the festival supports ILCF projects such as Leader Dogs for the Blind, eyeglass recycling and vision awareness. We have supported many projects in our surrounding communities including funding for a Habitat for Humanity Home, financial support for Omega House, Bay Cliff Health Camp, Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly, Air Lifeline and 4-H. Besides our Strawberry Festival, we host an annual Halloween Partly for the children of Chassell and offer financial support to our local school in the form of scholarships, purchasing band instruments, books for the library - just about any need that will be of benefit to our community.

Chassell Lions hosted a hydration station in the L'Anse Township Park for the participants of the "Tour da Yoop, Eh" ride. Proceeds from the race benefit our District 10 Lions Childhood Cancer program. What an awesome group of individuals from all over the country biking the beautiful Upper Peninsula to support this great cause. Please consider offering your support using the links below. Sure hope we can at least reach the $25,000 donor match. $50,000... even better!
In all, we had about 30 riders stop by!
