The Shriners work very hard to
support “The World’s Greatest Philanthropy”, our twenty-two orthopedic and burn
center hospitals are located through North American. Children under the age of
18 receive the best medical care possible, no child is every turned away
because of their parents inability to pay for any treatment received in a
Shrine Hospital regardless of race, creed or relationship to a Shriner.

Freemason Fraternity. Freemasonry believes in Charity, Truth, and Faith. If you
