Charitable Activities

Since 1994, the Lithuanian Citizens Society has donated almost $620,000 to worthy charities in Lithuania and the United States.  Most of our donations to Lithuanian causes benefit the young, whether they be hospitals, orphanages or schools. We are able to support these causes because of the success of our twice-weekly bingos. Unfortunately, due to a downturn in bingo revenues, we are unable to support additional charities at this time.

	Our former Charity Committee members (L-R): Tillie Milauskas, Agnes Kuzin, Jay McCloskey, and Ruth Burdulis along with former Citizens' Society President, Ben Burdulis, greet Vytautas Landsbergis in Washington, D.C. in 1999.
