“Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much.”

The motto of Lions Club is “We Serve”. Markham Elite Lions Club works closely with the GTA communities. Lion members are proud to give back to the community by contributing and raising funds and spending time to make a difference in the lives of people we touch. We, with the support of sponsors, friends and Lion members, have been able to continually support projects such as Fight against Hunger, Fight against cancer, Protect the Environment and Vision.

Annual Gala Dinner is sophisticated tradition of MELC. Annual Gala is the best way to connect with the community where we all come together and create the awareness by addressing and promoting the current issue where it needs to be helped by giving Selfless Love and Care.

On the evening of May 11th, 2024, the Markham Elite Lions Club hosted a spectacular Gala Dinner aimed at supporting the Markham Stouffville Hospital. This event, held at Oasis Convention Centre in Mississauga, brought together community members, local businesses, and philanthropists in a collective effort to raise funds for the hospital’s vital initiatives.

The atmosphere was brimming with warmth and generosity as guests enjoyed an evening of fine dining, live entertainment, and inspiring speeches. With every toast made and every door prizes and raffle draw, attendees demonstrated their unwavering commitment to the health and well-being of their community.

The success of the Gala Dinner was not only measured by the funds raised but also by the spirit of unity and compassion that permeated the event. It served as a reminder of the power of collective action and the profound impact that can be achieved when individuals come together for a common cause. Markham Elite Lions Club donated $31,000 to Markham Stouffville Hospital and $5000 to Lions Clubs International Funds.

Thanks to the dedication and hard work of the Markham Elite Lions Club, as well as the generosity of all who attended and supported the event, the Gala Dinner surpassed expectations, making a significant contribution to the Markham Stouffville Hospital’s mission of providing exceptional healthcare services to the community.

As the echoes of laughter and camaraderie lingered in the air, it was evident that the Gala Dinner was not just a fundraising event but a celebration of community, compassion, and hope.

The Markham Elite Lions Club extends heartfelt gratitude to everyone who played a part in making the Gala Dinner a resounding success. Together, we have made a difference in the lives of those in need, reaffirming the spirit of generosity that defines our community.
