In 2008 New Freedom Lions Club celebrated their 75th anniversary! The club’s first big fundraiser was the carnival. Still their major fundraiser, the carnival has grown faster than the club and today friends in the community lend the Lions a hand!
The carnival benefits Lions Charities: Sight First, Leader Dogs, Northeastern Eye Bank, Beacon Lodge, Diabetes Awareness and Hearing Research. Non-profit community groups like Rose Volunteer Fire Company and Ambulance Fund, Boy and Girl Scouts, South Central Senior Center, Paul Smith Library, New Freedom Heritage and Dollars for Scholars also benefit from the Lions generosity. The Lions award six $1,000.00 scholarships to deserving students each year.
