When Chicago Healthcare Alliance Lions Club (CHALC) was chartered in July, our vision was clear: leading the healthcare and advocating for the underserved and underprivileged in Chicago. The global health emergency taught us enduring lessons and highlighted the unwavering support of the medical community, including our Lions.
Despite pandemic setbacks and losses, our commitment to quality healthcare persists. Tonight, with the support of Lions International, we move a step close to our goal. As President of CHALC, I’m honored to accept this charter on behalf of our Lions, pledging hard work and dedication in service.
United by our desire to help, we face challenges together, making positive impact on the lives of the less fortunate. As Lions, our supreme purpose is to serve others.
From this night onward, we give new meaning to the words: We serve! CHALC, as a whole, serves from the heart, valuing each member for their genuine intention to care and serve.
Together, we are changing the world.
Keep roaring, Dear Lions!
Lea S. Agaton, BSN, BSBA, RN, PMJF

We serve to sustainably protect and restore our environment to improve the well-being of all communities.
We serve to ensure all community members have access to nutritious foods.
We serve to prevent avoidable blindness and improve quality of life for people who are blind and visually impaired.
Lions and Leos provide support for the needs of children and families affected by childhood cancer through impactful service activities.
Whenever and wherever disaster strikes, Lions are often among the first to offer aid. LCIF is ready to support their efforts with funding assistance through global disaster relief programs.
The humanitarian efforts of Lions have been notable and celebrated for more than 100 years. Working together, Lions identify the world’s most crucial needs and LCIF supports them in their efforts to provide humanitarian aid where it’s needed most.
Young people are a dynamic force for good. We’re more than a century into service, and committed as ever to sustaining our impact over the next 100 years. That’s why we devote ourselves to serving youth as beneficiaries, youth as partners, and empowering youth as service leaders.
