FUNDRAISING.

CLUB FUNDRASING PROJECTS

Money, as well as manpower, is needed to carry out many of the service projects that the Freedom District Lions Club (FDLC) does in our community and around the world. All monies our club raises from the public goes back into the public through our many service activities and donations. Over the 72 years the Freedom District Lions Club has been in existence, the club has donated over $1,300,000 plus countless volunteer hours by its members to support those in need in our community, county state and the world beyond; through its projects related to vision, diabetes, childhood cancer, hunger, the environment and various youth programs. We are continuously examining possible new fundraisers and considering whether we should continue existing fundraising projects.

Currently, we conduct with community support, the following major fundraising projects.

CARVINAL FRENCH FRIES SALES

Each year, the Freedom District Lions Club operates the French Fry Stand during the week-long Sykesville-Freedom District Fire Department (SFDFD) carnival in June. We have been doing this since the carnival began many years ago behind the SFDFD station at the intersection of Route 32 and Freedom Ave. This is one of the club’s largest fundraisers and a significant portion of our profit is donated each year to the fire department for their important life and property saving activities. The FDLC and the local volunteer fire department have a long-standing cooperative relationship dating back to when the fire department was formed.

Our club members fully support this activity – working one or more evenings at our carnival stand to cut potatoes, deep fry the potatoes, and serve them to our friends and neighbors attending the carnival. We own and maintain the French Fry Stand on the carnival grounds
