Celebrating its 100th anniversary year, Aurora Noon Lions Club will collect donations to aid the more than two million men, women, and children, who have fled the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
Arvid Meyer, Noon Lions president, said donations for Ukrainian refugees will be accepted at the Club’s annual “Breakfast with the Bunny” fundraiser Saturday, April 16. The pancake breakfast is from 7:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Luigi’s Pizza, 732 Prairie Street in Aurora. The public is invited. Parking is free.
Meyer added that the Club will match up to $500 in donations for Ukrainian refugees. Noon Lions voted unanimously to accept and match donations at the Club’s meeting Thursday, April 7, at Luigi’s Pizza in Aurora.
According to Meyer, Noon Lions are among members of Lions International, the world’s largest humanitarian service organization, raising funds and staging food and supplies drives to show support to Ukraine through advocacy and outreach.
