As part of the holiday festivities, SCSDB dedicated a plaque commemorating the Spartanburg Lions Club’s gifts to the schools over the last 76 years.

The Lions Club also provides an annual scholarship from the Lion's Club Foundation awarded to a deserving SCSDB student to attend Spartanburg Technical College, and has awarded funds for various SCSDB projects, such as an assistive technology learning lab in the School for the Blind and the equipment to produce large-print textbooks for students.
