Strides for Diabetes Event
“Strides activities are a fun and engaging way for Lions and Leos everywhere to promote diabetes awareness and help their community members prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.”
A Strides event can include a walk, a run, or an other physical activity to focus attention upon diabetes in your community. Optionally, a Strides event can raise funds for LCIF or other local service projects.
LCIF offers an information package and resources including a Service Project Planner, a fundraising guide, posters, stickers, and other promotional items to help your campaign.

Plan and hold the event
Your success will depend upon how well you promote the activity. Plan ahead, and advertise using the available resources and promotional items. If you plan to raise funds, download the fundraising guide.
Report your project
We recommend reporting a service activity in the Lion Portal as soon as possible after you complete your service. The Lion Year ends on June 30, but reports can continue to be entered for that year until July 31.
