MHSP Fee Reduction
The 2020 Vision Capital Campaign successfully financed and ushered in the new kit delivery system which has enabled us to screen over 35,000 children in adults in only six months! Additional digital photo screener kits to be implemented this year will ensure faster and more efficient sight and hearing screening. We want to help your club provide screenings in your community.
Your Foundation now provides Lions Clubs a new—and lower—fee structure for kit based school AND community events when sponsored by your Lions Club. To take advantage of these lower rates, your club must commit to recruiting community volunteers, promoting your events, and helping us evaluate the program by completing a brief survey.
• Kit based school/community events sponsored by a club:
o $100 for event day one
o $50 for each consecutive event day
• Truck based community events sponsored by a club:
o $150 for event day one
o $100 for each consecutive event day
