Make your mark. Be seen. Be Lions!

Looking for a simple way to increase Lions visibility at your next community event? MD4 has a no-cost marketing tool available to California Lions and Leo clubs—the Lions/Leo Logo Inflatable!

Use an inflatable at festivals, fairs, service projects, community gatherings, membership events, and other opportunities where you want people to see who Lions and Leos are and connect our name with service.

Reserve It. Display It. Share It!

The MD4 Inflatable Tool is officially live, giving districts and clubs one place to check availability, reserve a unit, access borrower information, and connect with the inflatable program.

Reserve your inflatable:

https://inflatables.everythingcalions.org

You can also find the resource in the CA Lions Marketing Committee Clubhouse:

https://clubhouse.everythingcalions.org

Look for “Reserve a Lions Inflatable.”

There is no cost to reserve an MD4 inflatable. Your club provides the event, the service and the Lions—we’ll help you bring the visibility!

Now Amplify Your Impact!

When you use an inflatable, take pictures and share them on your club and district social media! Show your community where Lions are serving, having fun, and making a difference.

Use #CaliforniaLions so we can help connect and amplify Lions service happening across the state.

Then take it one step further and share your photos and story with California Lions:

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557281499897&mibextid=wwXIfr&mibextid=wwXIfr

Every photo helps tell a bigger story. The inflatable gets us noticed—the people, service and stories behind it show our communities what Lions do.

District leaders: Please share this resource with your clubs and encourage them to reserve, display, photograph and share!

Boost visibility. Spread your impact. Inspire more.

Make your next community event unmistakably LIONS!
