Fraternal Organizations

While it is true that Shriners are Masons, not all Masons are Shriners. Shriners International provides unique opportunities for fun, fellowship and philanthropy – opportunities not often found in other fraternal organizations . . . The governing body of Shriners International voted to adopt a centralized charity in 1920 and founded Shriners Hospitals for Children (dba Shriners Children's) in 1922. The fraternity continues to help support the healthcare system. Members assist by raising funds, providing transportation for patients and their families, volunteering on boards, and much more.
