Jesse Robinson Membership Growth Cup
Our extraordinary global impact is only possible because of the Lions who make it happen every day. That’s why, for more than a century, our greatest leaders have prioritized growing our membership and sharing our mission of service throughout the world.
Add to our legacy, and build your own
Throughout our incredible history, each leader has left an indelible mark on the enduring legacy of our service. And the influence of one such visionary—our association’s third international president, Jesse Robinson—still resonates with Lions to this day.
In 1919, just two years after the formation of our association, he challenged every Lion to recognize that the future of our service depended on the growth of our membership, both at home and around the world. To encourage Lions to grow our districts and clubs, he established the association's first award - a prized silver cup to honor the outstanding efforts in membership development.
Now, as district leaders, this is your opportunity to add to our legacy, and build your own. You can redefine the future of service and be forever memorialized for your exceptional dedication to strengthening membership as a Jesse Robinson Membership Growth Cup winner!
