The Lions of Colorado and Wyoming founded the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank in 1982. Beginning with just a handful of donors, the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank is now recognized the world over for its eye banking expertise. In any language, RMLEB means service, quality and compassion.

This Foundation was organized in 1990 by the Lions of both CO and WY to serve as the legal entity through which the Lions from both states could raise the funding that the Lions had committed to cover 1/2 the construction cost of the building in which RMLEI is located at the Univ of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Aurora CO which opened in 2001. We continue to provide a portion of the cost of additional necessary equipment used in the operation of the Clinic and Medical School teaching.
