Our Club is a Founders Club of Lions International, organized October 11, 1916.  We serve the Tulsa area, principally by assisting the visually and physically impaired. Our motto is: "WE SERVE." We are the Home Club of the late Dr. Robert McCullough, Lions International Past President. While our club is the "downtown club," many of our members work and live outside the downtown area. Visitors are always welcome.

If you or someone you know may be interested in becoming a Lion and serving the community, please visit one of our meetings on the first and third Friday of each Month at Baxter's Grill at 7th & Houston in Downtown Tulsa. Use the contact us function to send us a message. 

If you wish to donate eyeglasses, review our list of  several drop off locations around the Tulsa area.  

    Helen Keller: "Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much."

In response to Helen Keller's challenge to us in 1925, we became "Knights of the Blind in the crusade against darkness."

Our history is a long one. And a proud one. For over 110 years, we’ve served with uncommon kindness, putting the needs of our neighbors and our communities first. We look back at our storied past with pride, but we know it’s only the beginning. Every day, we’re building on our legacy with the goal of making an even greater impact in the future.

We support the global causes of Lions Club International:

Diabetes - We serve to reduce the prevalence of diabetes and improve quality of life for those diagnosed.

Vision - We serve to prevent avoidable blindness and improve quality of life for people who are blind and visually impaired.

Hunger - We serve to ensure all community members have access to nutritious foods.

Environment - We serve to sustainably protect and restore our environment to improve the well-being of all communities.

Childhood Cancer - We serve to help those affected by childhood cancer survive and thrive.

We serve the Tulsa area in many ways and one of our primary projects is providing no cost vision exams and glasses to qualifying individuals that can't afford these services.

We also partner with local schools to provide services to physically and mentally impaired children.

We provide Kidsight screenings for schools, daycare centers and at health fairs.

We provide a Mobile Health Screening unit at various events in the Tulsa area. 

We collect glasses from various optometrists offices and individuals that want to donate them. The glasses will be then be cleaned and sorted by prescription and sent to underserved populations around the globe via several mission-driven organizations. 

We collect used hearing aids and donate them to Hough Ear Institute to be refurbished for their free hearing aid program.
