Past Challenges

The Lions Save Sight Community Challenge is a fundraising activity of Lions NSW-ACT Save Sight & Public Health Care Ltd.

as trustee for the Lions NSW-ACT Save Sight Foundation and the Lions Clubs NSW-ACT Public Health Care Foundation.

PDG Deyann McDonnell endorsed candidate for N1 District was successful in raising the most money ($11,240) of the total of $28,960 thus the winning Charity award with a cash prize of $3000.

PDG Deyann, who was until this year the Community Challenge Ambassador generously donated the prize back to the Save Sight & Public Health Care Foundation. Because of her previous experience with the Challenge and the fact she was not running in the Community Service award, PDG Deyann became a Judge of the section with Jane Treloggen, Mgr of the Lions NSW Eye Bank and PDG Ian Warren from N4.

The winner of the Community Service Award was a Leo from N5, Leo Jess Siviz, who also generously donated her winning cheque of $3000, this time to the Lions NSW Eye Bank. Leo Jess also presented to Jane with the Foundations Grant Cheque for $50,000 being part of our annual standing grant $100,000. The Foundation also gave the Lions Sight Institute $100,000 annually.
