Racing for a Reason"Knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness." Our Impact to Date$754,000+
Thanks to your participation, the Lexington Lions Club has officially raised over $754,000 in donations for the Massachusetts Lions Eye Research Fund (MLERF). 100% of Race Proceeds go to Charity
Our MissionThe Lions are known worldwide for their service to persons who are blind and visually impaired. We have been dedicated to this cause since 1925, when Helen Keller challenged Lions to become "knights of the blind." The continued success of the Patriots Day Road Race allows the Lexington Lions to fulfill this mission by providing critical financial support for eye disease research programs right here in Massachusetts. "The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision." — Helen Keller .png)
