Are you ready?
Is your club ready?
Red Feather’s history
Red Feather has an impressive history. Since 1972, the campaign has supported cancer and heart disease prevention, veterans of our wars, people with disabilities, the elderly, and outpatient and aftercare for children. Each collection has made a lasting difference to Finnish well-being.
The previous campaign, in 2016-2017, focused on helping young people. Lions clubs raised nearly €3 million, which was distributed through youth work organisations. The proceeds were used to strengthen young people’s life management, prevent exclusion, build substance-free lives and support mental health work. It also celebrated both Finland’s 100th anniversary and the 100th anniversary of Lions International.
