For 63 years, the Lions Clubs of Louisiana have had one mission; To provide an outdoor summer camp experience for the youth of Louisiana with respiratory disorders, special needs, juvenile diabetes, and childhood cancer. The Lions Club provides the facilities, staff, medical professionals and programming of the Louisiana Lions Camp free for qualifying boys and girls of Louisiana. CASA of Central Louisiana works to provide quality advocacy and a strong voice to abused and neglected children in Natchitoches, Red River, and Sabine parishes. CASA, through recruitment, training and supervising volunteers-serves as the eyes and ears of the judge in working collaboratively to ensure that each child’s best interest is met. As children enter the foster care system, a trained, volunteer advocate is assigned to monitor the child’s case as it proceeds through the welfare and judicial system. Through the collaborative efforts of BKMC Chapters 3,4 & 17, funds will be raised to enable these two childrens organizations to continue providing desperately needed services to these special populations of Louisiana.
