Youth

Support and Contribution
Personal Contribution.
We know everyone has busy lives and are not excited about making a commitment to anything more but want to help out in the community and lend a hand. We encourage people to join in the fun in giving back by coming to one of our projects for the day or for a few hours. We will not ask you to join us so don’t feel that you may be pressured. You are welcome to participate at any level that fits you and your lifestyle.
Monetary Giving.
Want to help make a difference but don’t have the time? We put all the money we raise to good use. Because we are an all-volunteer organization, 100% of all donations we receive are returned back to the community through our various charitable causes. Our charitable foundation, the Almaden Super Lions Charitable Foundation, is a 501(c)(3) corporation. All of your contributions to the foundation are 100% tax deductible.
