Lions Services

On Saturday, October 12, 2024, some of our Lions Services employees attended the NASCAR Xfinity Drive for the Cure 250, presented by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, to cheer on Connor Mosack! Racing for JR Motorsports in the #88 car, Connor proudly sported the Lions Services logo on the back panel. It was an exciting day, and we were thrilled to support him as part of our ongoing mission to raise awareness for the blind and visually impaired community. Go, Connor!
