LIONS/UNITED NATIONS DAY


The 46th annual Lions Day with the United Nations will be held Friday, March 1, 2024 in New York City, USA, to celebrate “World Peace and Environmental Stewardship.


The relationship between Lions Clubs International and the UN began after the end of World War II, in 1945, when U.S. President Harry Truman joined Britain's Prime Minister Winston Churchill after signing the UN charter, asked Melvin Jones, Lions founder and Past International Presidents Fred W. Smith and D.A. Skeen to help develop the non-governmental organization (NGO) charter for the United Nations. Lions Clubs International was an established worldwide service organization, long before the United Nations. Since then, the two organizations have cooperated on many humanitarian ventures. Lions have provided aid and manpower for UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund), WHO (World Health Organization), and UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural.Organization) projects, The Special Olympics and the list goes on.
