Annual Appeal
Dear Grafton Resident:
The Grafton Lions Club is proud to be completing 70 years of serving those in need and contributing to the quality of life in our town. We are asking our fellow townspeople to assist us in our efforts for the coming year by making a tax-deductible contribution to our Annual Appeal.
Over the prior 12 months we have again been extremely involved in our community. The Concert on the Common continues to be our signature event. The 215th Army Band will be returning to Grafton on Wednesday July 2nd 2025 to help us celebrate the Fourth for the 46th consecutive year. Our Senior Picnic continues to be a popular event with our seniors. We also maintain our property and pavilion for use by scouts as well as our soccer field for use by many groups over the season.
Our Grafton Lions Annual Golf Tournament and The Haunted Woods Hayride (which has attracts 2000 visitors over two nights in October) continue to be fun community events and successful fundraisers. However, we still need your support!
Your kind contribution of $100, $50, $25 or whatever you can afford, will ensure that the Grafton Lions Club can continue many other important projects and activities throughout the year.
Donations can be made electronically by using one of the links on this page, or you can send a check.
We thank you in advance for your continued support. We would not be able to achieve this kind of impact in our community without your thoughtful and generous contribution.
