The Lions say, “We Got Your Hide and we truly appreciate it”

(Whitewater Lions Club press release) – We Got Your Hide and we truly appreciate it. The Whitewater Lions Club has received over 150 deer hides this season! Congratulations to the successful hunters and thank you for giving us your hides. The Wisconsin Lions Clubs collect the hides to help support the Wisconsin Lions Camp in Rosholt, Wisconsin. The last day of hide collection is December 26.

This quality camping experience is provided free-of-charge to eligible children and adults with disabilities from Wisconsin. We serve children and adults who are blind or visually impaired, Deaf or Hard of Hearing, children with intellectual disabilities or autism, children with diabetes, and children with epilepsy. A chance remark, “Blind kids can’t go to outdoor camps and stuff like that…” started it all in 1955 and in 1956, the Lions Clubs of the State of Wisconsin founded the Wisconsin Lions Camp and the Wisconsin Lions Foundation, Inc. to administer the Camp program. From that humble beginning with 26 campers, we are proud to serve 1,200 campers a summer.
