Charitable Gambling . . .

Since 1985, the Coon Rapids Lions Club has provided charitable gambling at locations throughout the City of Coon Rapids and other nearby communities. While the venues and games may have changed over the years, the purpose of the Gambling operation has not. Proceeds from the gaming revenue have always gone to provide for the Club's financial support of needy individuals, community youth programs and other charitable causes throughout Coon Rapids. The focus has always been to provide for those in need and make our community a great place to live.

If it weren't for these businesses partnering up with the Coon Rapids Lions Club, there wouldn't be the extensive financial support to the various organizations and individuals that is provided each year. The Coon Rapids Lions Club is grateful for their gaming partners continued support of its Gaming operation and encourage you to visit these businesses.

The City of Coon Rapids - particularly the youth programs offered by the Police and    Fire Depts. - in addition to providing support for the highly regarded fireworks display at the    Sand Creek Park 4th of July Carnival each year.


The Gaming operation of the Coon Rapids Lions Club would not be anything if it weren't for the patronage of the citizens of Coon Rapids and the surrounding communities. The support provided by the public through the playing of the Club's various charitable games is what provides the funding to aid and assist those individuals and groups in need.

The Coon Rapids Lions Club would like to express its thanks for the past patronage of those individuals who have supported the Club's causes. It is hoped that the public will continue to support the actions and activities of the Club by visiting these various venues and playing the charitable games.
