Helen Keller is special to Lions – because she helped give us a purpose! As an early service organization, we were serving our individual community needs, like we do today – but no unified mission. Helen Keller addressed an auditorium full of men asking them to become Knights for the Blind – and they heartily accepted her charge.
Since 1925, Lions around the world have been addressing the needs of those with visual impairments around the world. Ohio Lions have led the way in creating vision solutions like soft contact lenses, advancements in research for macular degeneration, and River Blindness.
We are continuing to accept sponsorships and will do until sold out.

The Bridge of Heroes project was established to honor our community’s military veterans and service members. The flags are displayed on the Putnam Street bridge in Marietta during the weeks of Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day.
Community members are invited to sponsor a flag in honor or memory of their favorite veteran. Sponsorships for the 2023 Bridge of Heroes are $100 and include all three holidays. Each flag will have a tag that includes the name of the veteran/service member, as well as the name of the person, group, or business that purchased the sponsorship.
Sponsorships will be available until sold out.

The Marietta Noon Lions Club is proud to support local youth like the Marietta Tigers Youth Football K-6th Grade!
We recently awarded two $1,500 scholarships, participated in the Marietta Earth Day Celebration, and we were a major donor toward the Silent Battle memorial, which will be dedicated this weekend at Gold Star Park in Marietta, Ohio. From eye glasses, to local youth, to veterans initiatives, the environment, and pediatric cancer #WeServe
Wow! We are fortunate to have local organizations and businesses that share and support our mission. What a remarkable contribution our local Lions Club made in support of our youth football teams! Your contribution will make a huge impact on the lives of so many youth athletes in our community. We couldn’t do it without your support and we thank-you for that! From all of us at the Tigers Youth Football Team, THANK-YOU!
When like minded individuals come together in support of a common cause, we can move mountains! Thank you Marietta Noon Lions!
