Lucan Lions Club and Special Olympics Continue Longstanding Partnership
Lucan Lions Club would like to sincerely thank everyone who supported the annual Spinathon at SuperValu Lucan, held in conjunction with Lucan Special Olympics Club. The event has become a valued fixture in the local community, with funds raised going directly towards supporting the work and activities of the local Special Olympics club. The partnership between Lucan Lions and Lucan Special Olympics has a long and proud history, dating back to the 2003 Special Olympics Host Town programme, when many volunteers came together to welcome and support athletes and their families in Lucan. Many of those volunteers subsequently became members of Lucan Lions Club, helping to build a lasting connection between the two organisations. The continued success of the Spinathon is a wonderful reflection of that enduring community spirit, and Lucan Lions extends its thanks to SuperValu Lucan, all the volunteers, participants and members of the public who generously supported this year’s event.
We continue our efforts to attract new members so if you wish to join or assist Lucan Lions Club, please contact the undersigned or visit our website.
