Representatives from 20 LGBT, HIV/AIDS, and other nonprofits
joined members of the Castro Lions Club for its annual dinner and grant
distribution Thursday, July 17 at Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church. Castro
Lions distributed $126,000 to the nonprofits, including $45,000 for the Lions
Eye Foundation; $15,000 for the National AIDS Memorial Grove; $4,000 to the
AIDS and Breast Cancer Emergency Funds; and $45,000 as part of a matching grant
to the San Francisco LGBT Community Center. Several other organizations also
received checks, such as Openhouse, Tenderloin Tessie, and La Casa De Las
Madres ($500 each), Positive Resource Center ($2,500), and the Pacific Center in
Berkeley ($1,000). Lions spokesman Gary Nathan said the club was happy to be
able to help so many organizations.
