2012 Candy Days Cool and Sweet

Lions Candy Days, October 12-13, 2012, Freeport IL - Volunteers helped collect funds from people in front of several stores including Sullivan Foods, Cub Foods and Shopko on Friday and Saturday, October 12 and 13. Funds collected help people of all ages with vision and hearing challenges as well as find solutions for deaf and blind people. Freeport High School organizations such as the Student Council and the Pom-Pom Squad joined forces with Lions volunteers throughout both days.

 Lion Richard Montgomery stands ready to greet the first shoppers of the day in front of Cub Foods. Lions Terry Anderson and Paul Rampanthal trade shifts at Shopko.  

Freeport High School Pom-Pom members Andrea Hartman and Aline Kopp offer shoppers a candy roll in exchange for a donation at Cub Foods, while Freeport High School Student Council members Meg Gantzer and Alex Cornacchia take up the cause in front of Sullivan’s Foods. 

Our thanks to the businesses that helped participate in our 2012 annual fundraising campaign. Also a special thanks to Cedarville and Lena Lions Clubs whose members made it a point to stop, donate, and say “hello” to our volunteers while they shopped even though they had their own Candy Day events in their own towns.
