Darien Lions Club
Candy Day 2009

Fourth of July Parade | DarienFest |  Halloween Party | Pancake Breakfast

Candy Day 2009 will be held on Friday, October 9th and Saturday, October 10th.  On these two days, Darien Lions and volunteers will be at local intersections and selected retail merchants soliciting donations from passers-by in return for a roll of Lions mints or  multi-flavored roll candy.  All the money collected (less expenses) is donated to numerous humanitarian causes.   Lion Kevin Monaghan, pictured at the left, is this year's Chairman.

The Darien Lions Club takes exceptional pride in being the top Candy Day collector in Illinois.  Through the generous contributions of motorists, local merchants, and other individuals, we raised just over $33,000 in 2007.  Many long hours were put in by members and volunteers to attain this level of success.  

What is great about Candy Day, you can collect money to fight against the reasons people are blind and deaf all year long.  Also the money raised helps to make the lives of those who are blind and deaf a little easier and give them some hope.
