Tennessee Lions Charities was established in 1995 to serve the children, families, and Lions of Tennessee. Our first project was the creation of the Tennessee Lions Pediatric Eye Center at Vanderbilt University. Following the success of this project, our leaders oversaw the development of KidSight Outreach program as a unique service program for Tennessee's Lions Clubs that would strengthen their impact in their communities and bring life-changing vision screenings to Tennessee's children.

​

Since 1997, more than 700,000 children have participated in KidSight Outreach vision screenings conducted by Tennessee's Lions. Over 40,000 have been referred for treatment.
