Fond du Lac Evening Lions
District 27-B1

Tissue Transporter

Five of our members volunteer their time, car and gas to transport eye tissue to our Wisconsin Lions Eye Bank in Madison.  After the eyes are processed, the corneas are then driven to clinics and hospitals in the Fox River Valley and beyond to doctors who transplant them into patients.  We are part of a state-wide transport team that brings donated eyes to the Eye Bank in Madison.  Fond du Lac is a hub with eyes coming from east central Wisconsin.  Our members take them to Beaver Dam where another Lion finishes the last leg of the journey.  Corneas are then brought to Fond du Lac where our members transport them to Berlin, Sheboygan, Appleton, Neenah and Two Rivers.
