“Lyons Links and myself have had a strong relationship since day one. There’s nobody else I can trust when looking for a world-class trip. I have taken several Alumni groups to Ireland for the last four years. This has allowed me to develop a strong bond with people who are connected to the colleges I have worked with and I can now call some of them close friends. Lyons Links are so in tune with the needs of our people.
The logistics are always executed with near-perfection. Since I started trips with Lyons Links, colleges have received donations that are now over seven figures. I’m so thankful to Lyons Links team for the memorable experiences that they have provided to me and my friends.”
