Fundraising

The sub-menu that shows when clicking on Fund-raising button includes a menu to allow quick navigation to a specific fund-raiser.

You will be able to see when our next fundraiser is by visiting the Events Calendar. 

We really appeal to the members of the public and their companies to support the Lions Club of Fish Hoek in our fund-raisers Every cent that is collected from the fund-raisers is used to assist in the many projects that the Lions club of Fish Hoek and Lions International are involved in. The menu listing gives some of the fund-raisers that we are involved in that allow us to raise funds for the accomplishment of these projects, whether it be with our eye clinic or keeping our youngsters busy or looking after the security of the aged.

It is only with your assistance that we can truly excel at our fund-raising and be able to grow existing projects and establish new ones to serve the community better. 

If you would prefer to make a donation directly to the club, please email our club treasurer at treasurer@fishhoeklionsclub.org.za

Blikkies

This is one of the tins with a Lions label wrapped around it that you see next to some shop-owners tills. These tins allow a shopper to post a few cents into this tin and contribute to the ongoing fund-raising Lions Club of Fish Hoek are involved in.

The Lions Club of Fish Hoek uses every cent it collects for the improvement of its community. Blikkies provide a handy way for all members of the public to assist our club in the many projects we are involved in. Should you wish to either have a free collection tin donated to you, or a full one collected, please contact the convenor at blikkies@fishhoeklionsclub.org.za

Booksales

The Lions Club of Fish Hoek previously held a second-hand book sale at Longbeach Mall. Unfortunately, due to a lack of new book stock being donated and the quality of the existing book stock as well as the extra-ordinary amount of time required to sort the book stock, this fund-raiser has been abandoned.

Christmas Cakes

Annually the Lions Club of Fish Hoek sells Christmas fruit cakes to aid their fund-raising efforts. The 1 kilogram cakes are expertly manufactured by Albany Bakery and make an excellent fruity base for your Christmas cake. They are normally available from around October until just before Christmas. The cakes are very popular as our sales topped 700 cakes in 2007 so do keep an eye out for them in your area and pick yours up as soon as possible. The cakes have an excellent shelf life and if they are not made up as a Christmas cake, are wonderful for afternoon tea, or as a daytime snack.

The Slangkop Biker's Rally 

The ULYSSES Motor Cycle Association was formed in December 1998 with the Western Cape Chapter(http://www.ulysseswc.co.za) being the first to get started. They are now the second largest Chapter in the Country with a membership of approximately 127. Membership is restricted to the age of 40 and upwards, but motorcyclists of any age are welcome to join in on rides and functions. For approximately 7 years, Ulysses supported a children’s home in Moorreesburg which seemed to have been forgotten by society. They have now been recognized as a legitimate recipient of lotto funding and the local NG Kerk has also stepped in and become involved. Besides any charities that they assist, Ulysses members are also endeavouring to change the public view on motorcycling, by example.

When the Lions Club of Fish Hoek Simonsbay approached Ulysses to join with them in hosting a motorcycle rally in Cape Town they jumped at the opportunity to be of assistance with their involvement in community projects, whilst doing what they loved to do most – ride motorcycles and have fun with other people who enjoy doing the same thing. The involvement of members of both clubs, has laid the foundation for a very successful fund-raising event enjoyed by the expanding biker fraternity.

A marquee houses the pub and the band. The surrounds house the “tent village”, the bikes, bikers and food stalls. There is bricks and mortar accommodation is available at very reasonable rates a shortish distance from the main tent. There are also medical treatment facilities available at the rally. The event organisers comprising the Lions Club of Fish Hoek in conjunction with ULYSSES Western Cape Motor Cycle Association start one year ahead with the planning. On the day it is all hands on deck as we work flat out for the 3 days of the Rally. Only after the rally is there time to sleep and catch-up with family and pets – before starting the plans for the next Slangkop Bikers' Rally

The Lions Club of Fish Hoek were privileged to take over this successful, well attended, golf day that has been running for 20 yrs in 2008 from the Lions Club of Constantia Valley.

The Trophy of Light Golf day is held at the Clovelly Golf Club and will more than likely be held in May 2009.

The on-going success of this Golf Day has raised in excess of 1 Million Rand over the years, and the Lions Club of Fish Hoek intends to carry on this tradition.

The funds raised will be used by the Lions Club of Fish Hoek, who own and operate their own Eye Clinic based in the False Bay Hospital, where indigent people can have their eyes tested and obtain glasses (lenses and frames) for a mere R100. If they are not able to pay at all, we give them their glasses for free.

The recent income from the 2008 Golf day is being used to purchase a Retinal Camera. This mobile camera is used for imaging Diabetic Retinopathy, Glaucoma and Macular Degeneration. It is used for the early detection of deterioration of the eyes.

Any fund-raising income that is not used for our existing projects will be used to enable the Lions to continue serving the community where assistance is needed.

If you decide your company would like to sponsor this event, your company would not only have their name on the brochure but we also encourage you to advertise on the day. We will collect, erect and re-deliver your advertising material for you.

In supporting the event with a R 5000.00 sponsorship, you can automatically gain participation in the event with your own 4 ball in our limited field of only 120 players.

There will be a few R1000's worth of prizes up for grabs. A light dinner after the game, and a prize giving will be at 6.00pm.

If you wish to play and book your preferred tee-off times please inform the convenor immediately so the times can be booked for you.

This event will take place in May 2009 at the Clovelly Golf Club.
