Lions Club of Brisbane Chinese – Serving with Heart, Unity and Purpose 「布里斯本华人狮子会」 – 以爱心、团结与使命服务
Founded in 1996, the Lions Club of Brisbane Chinese (BC Lions) is a proud part of the global Lions Clubs International network – the world’s largest service organisation with over 1.35 million members across 220+ countries and regions. Our Club unites passionate individuals from diverse backgrounds, bound by a common commitment: to serve the community with compassion, energy and integrity.
For nearly three decades, BC Lions has played a unique and meaningful role in bridging cultures and building connections between the Chinese-Australian community and broader society. Born from a desire to show how migrant communities contribute positively to Australia, our Club has grown into a vibrant, multi-generational family of volunteers working together to make lasting impacts.
We serve where the need is greatest – whether it’s raising vital funds for medical research, supporting families at Ronald McDonald House, empowering youth through leadership programs, promoting environmental sustainability, or hosting Australian citizenship ceremonies to celebrate new beginnings. Our members have cooked meals for sick children, provided scholarships, planted thousands of trees, and rebuilt schools in disaster-affected regions. True to our motto “We Serve”, every dollar raised by the Club is directed toward charitable causes, not administration.
BC Lions is especially proud of its enduring support for the Lions Medical Research Foundation, having raised over $200,000 to back breakthrough research into cancer, diabetes, immunology, and more. Through projects like the Personality Quest, Christmas Love Campaign, and Campaign SightFirst, our Club continues to champion health, inclusion, and hope for those most in need.
Our members span a wide range of ages and professions – from young professionals and students to business owners and retirees. What unites us is a shared belief that giving back is not only a responsibility, but a joy. In doing so, we gain leadership experience, friendships, and the deep satisfaction of creating a better future.
The Lions Club of Brisbane Chinese is more than a service club – we are a living expression of what happens when people from all walks of life come together in kindness and purpose. If you're looking to make a difference, build meaningful relationships, and be part of something bigger than yourself, we welcome you to join us.
Where there’s a need, there’s a Lion – and in Brisbane, there’s BC Lions.
成立于1996年的「布里斯本华人狮子会」（BC Lions）是全球国际狮子会网络自豪的一部分—这是世界上最大的服务组织，拥有超过135万名会员，遍布220多个国家和地区。我们的会聚集了来自不同背景、充满热情的人士，并信守共同承诺：以仁爱、活力和诚信服务社区。
近三十年来，「华人狮子会」在沟通文化和推动澳洲华人社区与广大社会的联系方面扮演了独特而有意义的角色。 「华人狮子会」的创立源于展示移民社群如何对澳洲做出积极贡献的愿望，如今已发展成为一个充满活力、多世代的志愿者大家庭，在大家的共同努力下，在社会上留下持久的影响。
我们服务于最需要的社会事项—无论是为医学研究筹集重要资金、支持·麦当劳叔叔之家（Ronald McDonald House）内的家庭、透过领导袖计划赋予青年人力量、促进环境可持续性，还是举办澳洲入籍仪式来庆祝移民新的开始。我们的会员曾为患病儿童烹饪餐点，提供奖学金，种植树木，以及在灾区重建学校。忠于狮子会的座右铭「我们服务」 (We Serve)，「华人狮子会」筹集的每一分钱都用于慈善事业，而非用于行政支出。
「华人狮子会」尤其感到自豪的是对狮子会医学研究基金（Lions Medical Research Foundation）的持久支持，先后筹得超过 20 万元，支持癌症、糖尿病、免疫学等领域的突破性研究。透过品格选举（Personality Quest）、圣诞爱心活动（Christmas Love Campaign）和「防盲治盲基金」（Campaign SightFirst）等项目，我们的狮子会持续为最需要帮助的人倡导健康、包容与希望。
我们的会员涵盖各个年龄层和职业范畴—从年轻的专业人士和学生到企业业主和退休人士。我们的共同点在于相信回馈社会不仅是一种责任，更是一份喜悦。透过这样的行动，我们获得领导经验、友谊，以及创造更美好未来的深层满足感。
「布里斯本华人狮子会」不仅仅是一个服务团体—我们是各行各业的人们聚集在一起，以善意和使命行动的生动写照。如果你希望有所作为、建立有意义的关系，并成为比自身更重要事物的一部分，我们欢迎你加入我们。
有需要的地方，就有狮子会—在布里斯本，就有「布里斯本华人狮子会」。
