The Clinton Lions host various fundraisers throughout the year to help provide financial support for our ongoing projects in the community. Check out some of our main fundraisers below, and keep an eye on our Facebook for any other one-offs that pop up throughout the year!

Community Garage Sale & Craft Fair

We are proud to host a community-wide garage sale each year
  • The event runs Thursday/Friday/Saturday from 9a-5p
  • For a $35 fee, residents are able to secure a booth at the event to sell their items
  • ​We also reserve a few booths for local non-profits to set up on site and spread awareness of their organization
  • Entrance fee for people coming to shop is a donation of any amount (at the door - no need to buy tickets in advance!) to the Lions fund
The 2026 Garage Sale + Craft Fair will be held
August 6th-8th at the Clinton Arena

Shred-A-Thon

The Shred-A-Thon is a community event hosted by the Lions once a year offering free, secure, on-site document destruction to prevent identity theft and recycle paper. While we do not charge a fee, we request a donation of whatever you feel comfortable providing, to help continue supporting our work for the community!

What to Bring: Confidential documents, bank statements, medical records, tax returns, old bills - any paper you want shredded
What to Remove: Plastic binders, large metal clips, folders, and plastic sleeves. Staples and paperclips are usually okay, though we do request they be removed if possible
Thank you for a successful 2026 event!
​We look forward to the 2027 Shred-A-Thon and will share details when available.

Cash Cow Raffle

We host a Cash Cow Raffle - here's how it works:
  • Lions sell tickets for $10 a piece, and only 250 tickets total are sold (great odds!!)
  • ​The winner receives the choice of either $500 in cash, or 1/4 of a locally-sourced butchered cow ​
Congratulations to the winner of our 2026 drawing:

Chocolate Easter Bunny Sale

Each spring, the Clinton Lions sell chocolate bunnies to support the Lions Eye Institute & Lions Foundation in Albany, NY.

LEI's mission is to continually strive to develop and focus on new treatments, technologies, eye research, and educational opportunities for educators, physicians and communities in order to provide the very best patient care for the people of NY and our neighbors in New England.

White Cane Sale

Throughout the world, the long white cane is used by people who are blind or visually impaired as a tool for safe and reliable navigation.  The white cane is a symbol of the user’s skills and talents, mobility and independence.  It also allows the sighted person to recognize that the user is visually impaired.

Each year, the Clinton Lions host a White Cane Sale fundraiser, typically the weekend before Christmas.

​You'll find our Lions at Dunkin, Kinney's, and other places around town collecting donations in exchange for a symbolic mini white cane and sticker.

Popcorn!

You'll find the Clinton Lions at many Clinton community events throughout the year selling fresh-popped popcorn for a donation of any amount.

  • 4th of July Fireworks
