At a recent Friday home football game, the Belfast Lions Club made a donation to the RSU 71 School District's capital campaign to rebuild the Belfast Area High School athletic fields and facilities.
"BAHS and the Lions club have long had a symbiotic relation, the Lions have operated their French fries and Dough Boys stand at home football games for several seasons," said Charles Lagerbom, in a news release.
The Belfast Lions Club annually also awards three scholarships to graduating BAHS seniors and hosts the graduated seniors to a breakfast upon their return from Project Graduation. The club has also purchased a vision scanner for the district nurses, AEDs for the schools and a BAHS mascot uniform. They also host and help the BAHS Peer Leader LEOs as a high school component to their community service organization.
"Belfast Lions are happy to help with this major capital improvement project for the school," said Lagerbom.
