“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.

The Markham Elite Lions Club proudly announces its Annual Gala Dinner, an evening dedicated to celebrating the incredible mothers in our community and supporting the next generation. This year, our fundraising efforts are focused on a vital cause: the Maternity Ward at  Markham Stouffville Hospital.

By joining us, you are contributing to a legacy of care that nurtures and supports new life. Your presence reflects a commitment to a healthier, stronger community and ensures that local families have access to the best possible resources during one of life’s most significant moments.

The Event

This transformative evening takes place on Saturday, May 23, 2026, at the Dreams Convention Centre in Brampton. The doors open at 6:00 PM for a night of elegance, heartfelt tributes, and premium entertainment.

Our Mission

Inspired by the spirit of Mother’s Day, this gala brings compassion and generosity together under one roof. We invite you to unite with us in a shared vision for a brighter tomorrow, where every mother and newborn receives the support they deserve. Mark your calendars for an unforgettable evening of giving and celebration.
