Mission Statement
Our mission is to actively serve the people of Berks County and Chester County, Pennsylvania, by building permanent charitable capital (Corpus), preserving that Capital against illegal access and diminishing returns on investments, and investing that capital in fiducially responsible financial instruments from which a return is earned to provide philanthropic grants through our Lions and Leo Clubs, to needy individuals and families and causes that meet the challenge. Where there's a need, there's a Lion, and they contribute to their local community's health and vitality.
Bing Miller Fellowship Pin
Every James E. "Bing" Miller Fellow receives this lapel pin to show they're a member of our District Foundation
A Lions Club, or Leo Club, can honor a member of their Club with a Bing Miller Fellowship.
The Fellowship cost is $300.00, and the honoree will receive a beautiful wall plaque and the beautiful lapel pin shown below.
Knights of Bing Miller pin
The "Knights of Bing Miller" was established so an Individual can contribute to and support our Lions District Foundation
The Knight program is open to anyone who would like to help our Foundation help those in need in Berks and Chester Counties.
A Knight membership cost is $100.00 and can be paid for over four annual payments of $25.00.
Once the $100.00 is paid, the recipient will receive the beautiful lapel pin.
