LIONS CHALLENGE FOR CHANGE

A Community-Powered FUNdraiser Promoting Mental Health and Wellbeing

 

Step forward into the challenge.
Give back with every action.
Be the change that makes a difference.

Your Challenge. Your Way.

What is the Lions Challenge for Change?

The Lions Club of Mareeba’s Young Leaders in Service are inviting the local community to get involved in a month-long community challenge, to help them raise funds to support youth mental health and wellbeing.
Throughout March, participants are invited to set a personal challenge of their choice and complete it in their own way — at their own pace.
Participants can choose to complete the minimum set for the challenge or set their own personal target. Whether your challenge is big or small, every effort makes a difference.

How It Works

Cost to participates: $50

  • Participants can simply register and take part; or
  • Participant and also ask friends, family or colleagues to support them and help raise additional funds

You don’t need to be an athlete — just willing to challenge yourself and make a positive difference.

Why Join?

Mental health and wellbeing are at the heart of our mission, aligning with the Australian Lions Wellbeing Foundation and Lions International’s global focus.
Every dollar raised directly supports youth wellness and mental health programs right here in our local community.
