Lions Negaunee Projects

We are patrons of the following area programs / projects

Lions Log Cabin – a late 1800’s log cabin was unveiled in Negaunee, once the residence of Samuel Collins. A team of Lions disassembled the house carefully mark-ing every log, then rebuilt the cabin on a new site in the Jackson “Old Town” Park.

Old Town Jackson Pit Display – Just off the Iron Ore Heritage Trail, in west Negaunee, Lions’ members assembled a boardwalk that leads to an underground shaft where mining took place in the 1850’s. The Lions do upkeep and improvements to the site.

M-35 – A two mile stretch of M-35 from the Empire Mine north to the bridge is patrolled for litter twice a year by members.

Eyeglass Recycling – Learn more about this project by clicking here

Nursing Home Bingo – Every month a duo of members provide funds, social activity and support for residents of Eastwood Nursing Home.

“We Serve” Awards – $1000 awarded each year to Negaunee High School Seniors that are community oriented to assist with the costs of pursuing their career goals.

Aide Stations – Power drinks, water, bananas and oranges are distributed to competitors in the Noquamenon Ski Race & the Ore to Shore Bike Race.

Eye Glasses – Families with financial needs are assisted with glasses through our sight fund.

High School Track – A meet in May at the NHS track is completely sponsored and manned by local Lions.

Bay Cliff Health Club – For over eighty years Bay Cliff’s mission has been to improve the lives of children with physical disabilities. Today, Bay Cliff is a therapy and wellness center serving children with every kind of orthopedic, speech, hearing and visual disability. All U.P. Lions Clubs support Bay Cliff.

Construction – Over the years the club has assisted with a Habitat for Humanity Home near Lucy Hill, the Bernie Rivers Little League Fields, a pocket park and park benches in downtown Negaunee, and building improvements at Bay Cliff.
