Today, tomorrow, and Sunday, Lions Clubs all around Illinois will be standing on street corners, in front of businesses, and anywhere people move, holding and shaking their buckets to solicit donations of change or greenbacks and handing givers a roll of candy. Candy Day is an annual event and a tradition to raise money to support the Lions of Illinois Foundation (LCIF). The Foundation provides services to the blind and supports research in eye diseases at the University of Illinois Hospital in Chicago. If you happen to see me standing on a corner with my bucket, please don’t use me as a target, but stop and drop a fiver into the bucket, I’ll hand you a roll of candy and a cheery thank you.
