Lions Wishing Well of Hope Campaign 2026

Turn your spare Change into Real Change for Diabetes Research and Cancer Care

For 68 years, Lions have stood shoulder to shoulder with City of Hope—turning compassion into progress. Now, we invite clubs, districts, and individual Lions across California to continue that proud legacy.

Every coin tells a story. Every contribution—no matter the size—helps advance life-changing diabetes research and brings hope to families and communities who need it most.

As City of Hope enters an exciting new chapter of growth and transformation, Lions are doing what we do best: stepping forward, serving, and giving with purpose. While Lions Tribute Day is on pause, our commitment is not. Together, we carry the mission forward as we build toward a historic 70th Anniversary celebration in 2028.

Join the Lions Wishing Well of Hope Campaign today.

Turn spare change into meaningful impact.
Small donations. Big impact. Real hope.

Now through June 1, 2026

California Lions Diabetes Service Initiative

Screening • Prevention • Support

Together, we’re turning awareness into action.

The California Lions are proud to lead a statewide movement to combat diabetes through education, early detection, and community support. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, at risk, or caring for someone with diabetes, we’re here to help.

What We Offer

Free Screenings: Accessible, confidential diabetes risk assessments at community events across California.
Educational Resources: Easy-to-understand materials on prevention, management, and healthy living.
Support Networks: Connect with Lions clubs and local partners offering guidance and encouragement.
Inclusive Outreach: Materials available in multiple languages and formats, including screen reader-friendly and ASL-accessible options.

Move to Defeat Diabetes

Be the Reason Someone Thrives, and join our statewide challenge to walk, bike, run, or swim for diabetes awareness. Every mile counts toward our goal—and your health.

Track your movement. Share your journey. Inspire others.

Why It Matters

1 in 10 Californians lives with diabetes.
Many more are at risk and don’t know it.
Early detection saves lives—and limbs.

We believe in meeting people where they are, with compassion, clarity, and community.

Imagine the Impact — With YOU

In just the past 5 years, California Lions have completed 100,000+ service projects, reaching nearly 20 million people across the state.
Now imagine what happens as our volunteer base grows:

More diabetes, vision, and hearing screenings — saving lives through early detection.
Expanded outreach to schools, shelters, and senior centers — bringing care where it’s needed most.
More hands. More hope. More people helped.

Every new volunteer multiplies our impact.
Every hour donated changes lives.
