Phil-Am Lion's Club of Arizona

On June 21, 2014 the Phoenix Phil-Am Lions Club will hold its annual Induction and Installation Ball at the Hilton Phoenix Airport.  This undertaking is partly a fundraising event to support the club's signature project - Medical Mission.  The upcoming one in 2015 would be the 11th betwen the Philippines and Mexico missions.  Last year we netted over $2000 and the celbration was attneded by family friends, supporters and cignitaries.  We were able to do the following with the funds: 223 cataract operations, 67 pterygiums, dispensed 9000 corrective glasses, identified school children with vision problems and screened over 300 patients for diabetes.

This year we're even committed to making a bigger success and I am hoping you will help.  The aim is to raise about $5000 and the funds will be used for the cataract and medical mission on February 15-20, 2015 in Zambales, Philippines.  The club always breaks its record and this tiime we hope to be able to help 250 blinded patients because of cataract.

In reciprocation to your kind favor, we will put your pictures, greetings and advertisements in the club's souvenir program.  We will be issuing a donation receipt for the entire amount as requested.  Raising funds for such a noble cause cannot be possible without your generous support and sponsorship.

Loading Project C.U.R.E. Container

Today I assisted with the loading of a 40 ft Project C.U.R.E. container with medical equipment that's headed to Burkina Faso from the Project C.U.R.E. warehouse in Tempe, AZ. Volunteer airmen from Luke Air-force Base helped load the container, which contained approximately $500,000 in donated supplies. These supplies will help save many lives.

For the Love of Africa

A Safari-Chic Gala to benefit the Pokot Hospital Project

Imagine living in an area so remote that hospitals simply don’t exist.  Each year nearly 1,000,000 people are affected by preventable and curable disease simply because they have no access to doctors or medical clinics. We endeavor to change that.

Friends of Africa International is building a hospital and creating a network of mobile medical clinics to serve nearly 1,000,000 people.  Project C.U.R.E. has pledged to donate more than $1,000,000 in medical supplies and equipment to make them functional. 
As an Advisory Board Member and International Assessment Representative for Project C.U.R.E. this is an event that is very important to me and your participation, in any way, helps make a difference!
