Representatives from the Lions Club District 14-D Lancaster-Lebanon Counties presented the Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health Foundation with two generous checks in July.
The volunteer club first gave a $5,000 grant in support of SHAPEDOWN, a program for children ages 7–12, offered through LG Health’s Center for Healthy Weight Management.
The following week, the Lions Club gifted $10,000 to the COVID-19 Response Fund, which supports the hospital’s most urgent needs related to the ongoing pandemic. That check was a special gift from the Lions Clubs International Foundation, which has donated nearly $5 million in COVID-19 grants worldwide as of July 1.
“We are grateful to District Governor Lorraine Brown and her fellow Lions Club volunteers, who have supported many LG Health initiatives over the years, including the Seraph-McSparren Pediatric Inpatient Center, Healthy Weight Management and Nurse Family Partnership,” said Jennifer Groff, vice president of Organizational Development, LG Health Foundation.
The LG Health Foundation thanked the Lions Clubs International Foundation and all of the Lancaster County community members who have contributed more than $250,000 to the COVID-19 Response Fund since its inception in March.
