November 12, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Kingaroy Lions Club shared more than $41,000 with local community groups, Lions projects, the Royal Flying Doctor Service and LifeFlight Foundation during the past year.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made at the club’s recent changeover dinner.<\/p>\n

The money was made by members assisting at community events and through running the annual Kingaroy Lions Trail Ride, which is held near Kingaroy each May.<\/p>\n

This year, more than 900 riders took part in the Trail Ride, and many brought their families with them.<\/p>\n

Lions’ members – assisted by other local service clubs – catered for them from Friday night until Sunday lunch, sourcing nearly all their supplies locally.<\/p>\n

The money generated by the Ride was shared with eight other non-profit groups who helped at the event.<\/p>\n

The two biggest individual donations the club made were to the Royal Flying Doctor Service and LifeFlight, which provide emergency medical transport to the region.<\/p>\n

A LifeLight Foundation representative attended the dinner to thank the club.<\/p>\n
