Helen Keller Challenge 2.0

Eyes Forward: A Century of Vision Service. A Future of Access for All.

For more than a century, Lions have answered Helen Keller’s call to

become “Knights of the Blind,” championing vision care, preventing

blindness, and bringing hope to communities worldwide.

Helen Keller Challenge 2.0 honored that remarkable legacy while

inspiring California Lions to carry the mission into its next century of

service.

What began as a statewide vision service challenge grew into something

even greater — the creation of California Lions first accessible service

project team, now carried forward through the California Lions for

Access Committee.

This evolution reflects a powerful commitment: making Lions service,

resources, and opportunities more accessible so that everyone has the

opportunity to participate, contribute, and make a difference.

The Centennial celebration is over… The Legacy Lives On!

Helen Keller Challenge 2.0 resources remain available for Lions Clubs to

explore, adopt, and adapt. From vision screenings and eyeglass recycling to

community awareness and inclusive service activities, these tools continue

to inspire projects celebrating the next century of Lions vision service. Eyes Forward! Explore the resources, build on the legacy, and help shape

a future where vision service and accessibility bring more people together.
