How the San Antonio Founder Lions Club Stays Involved in the Community

Previously the chief financial officer and vice president at A’GACI, a retail fashion organization located in San Antonio, Reid Hackney is an alumnus of Penn State, having earned a bachelor of science degree in accounting before beginning his career in finance. Now retired, Reid Hackney enjoys getting involved in the local San Antonio community, and has served as a member of the San Antonio Founder Lions Club since 2017.

The San Antonio Founder Lions Club has been around since 1915, making it “the oldest Lions Club in the world.” Active in the San Antonio community, the club has a number of different methods of outreach, with a particular interest in assisting those who are struggling with vision impairment or blindness. The club collects eyeglasses in order to refurbish and donate them to those who can’t afford to purchase prescription eyeglasses of their own. Additionally, it assists with funding a mobile eye screening initiative, where a travelling unit offers free eye exams to the public.

In addition to many other outreach efforts, the San Antonio Founder Lions Club is proud to continue offering the Texas Lions Camp, a residential camping facility that caters to children suffering from various illnesses, including cancer, type 1 diabetes, and other kinds of physical disabilities. The children are able to participate in a variety of activities, including music, fishing, arts and crafts, archery, swimming, and drama.
