Why Our Work is Important

600,000 Oregonians live uninsured or under insured:

57.2% are employed full-time; 118,000 are youth under 18

Detection is Critical

Twenty-four percent, or 1 in 4 individuals, are not aware they have or are at risk for diabetes

Sixty percent of youth with learning problems have undiagnosed vision issues

10 percent of Oregonians are hearing impaired


Last year the Oregon Lions Sight & Hearing Foundation provided vital sight and hearing assistance to more than 117,000 children and adults. Every day more people are seeking ourassistance. Together, we can change their lives.

For nearly 50 years, the OLSHF has taken an active role in protecting the health of Oregonians. Through the 12 direct service programs related to sight, hearing and health assistance, the OLSHF has transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of youths and adults in our state. This coming year we will be celebrating our 50th Anniversary with celebrations at the district and multiple district conventions, culminating with a 50th Anniversary Gala on July 25th, 2009 at Willamette Country Club. Our 50th Anniversary is a wonderful opportunity to pay tribute to our past while paving the way for the future as we emerge as one of Oregon's most premier non-profits.
