We sponsored the very first Leo Club in Beaumont, Texas with the help of Hubie Hiltz, co-founder and Leo Club advisor. This club existed from 1982 until 1987.

The club has proudly been a 200% sponsor of the Texas Lions Camp since inception of the club. We provide two $1000 college scholarships per year in the names of two of our very best Lions, Robert D. Blackburn 1982-2002 and Loyd B. Davis 1981-1999.
