Georgia Lions Lighthouse Foundation & Lions Clubs International
The Peach Bowl was originally founded to benefit the Georgia Lions Lighthouse for the Blind, an organization dedicated to helping underserved Georgians by providing vision and hearing care.
That relationship continues to this day and has grown from financial support – with an annual $50,000 contribution since 2006 – to a proactive effort to provide vision screenings to children in the Atlanta community and in the communities of our participating teams. The vision screening program is a partnership between the Lions Lighthouse Foundation and the Peach Bowl and uses students from our Academic Mentoring Program to help the Lions staff screen elementary school children and kids in day care programs.
Georgia Lions Lighthouse, in partnership with the Peach Bowl, have screened 2,589 students and detected 345 vision issues.
2023 marked the second consecutive year that the Peach Bowl donated $100,000, with a total donation of $1 million to date.
