Helen Keller Service Awards

The Helen Keller Service Award was established in 2014 in honor of Helen Keller, who inspired Lions to be her “Knights of the Blind” in finding a cure for preventable blindness. An H.K.S.A. recognition is for the individual specified who has accomplished outstanding humanitarian service to the community and can only be recommended by a club or individual Lion. A recipient receives a Letter, Plaque and Drape Ribbon in recognition of dedicated humanitarian service from the District 33S Governor and the Helen Keller Service Award/LCIF Chairperson.

The award cannot be recommended for oneself, and Lions Clubs or Individuals are asked to donate $250.00 to the District 33S Helen Keller Service Award Program.

  • Only an individual can receive the Helen Keller Service Award.
  • Complete the H.K.S.A. recommendation and submit with payment.
  • Enclose Check (payable to Lions District 33S with Helen Keller in Note Line). Send Check and Recommendation Form to Helen Keller Award Committee.
