Wheelchair Foundation (www.wheelchairfoundation.org) is a
special mission that the Geneva Lions Club has taken on for
this fiscal year. In addition to our commitment to raise funds
for the blind and deaf, our members will give extra support
for a another most worthwhile cause. We are supporting Kenneth
Behring's foundation which is committed to providing a wheelchair
to every person in the world who can not walk and can not afford
to buy one. Mobility, something most of us rarely think about,
brings hope and joy into the life of a person who is otherwise
imprisoned by their physical limitation. Please take a moment
