ktp_days_-_la_pine

The La Pine Lions Club will host their “KTP Day” 14th Annual Scramble for Sight, Hearing, & Diabetes Charity Golf Tournament on September 16th at Quail Run Golf Course at 16725 Northridge Drive, La Pine, OR 97739.

This “Keep the Promise Day” event is part of a series of KTP Day events throughout Oregon. The goal is to celebrate the Lions’ connection to Helen Keller and their promise to address preventable blindness and hearing loss, in partnership with their Oregon Lions Sight & Hearing Foundation (OLSHF).

The La Pine Lions’ Scramble for Sight, Hearing, & Diabetes Golf Tournament hopes to do just that. Through this tournament, they can fund the club’s sight, hearing, and diabetes programs for a year. La Pine Lions Club’s partnerships with La Pine Eyecare and OLSHF allow them to provide low-cost eye exams, eyeglasses, hearing aids, and scholarships to low-income residents in South Deschutes and North Klamath counties so they can attend diabetes and low vision camps.

Together, the Lions Clubs of Oregon, the statewide nonprofit OLSHF, and partners offer access to people for critical sight-saving surgeries & treatments, secure new eyeglasses, help people who can’t afford eyeglasses & hearing aids, and manage the largest vision screening program in the US.
