Fun. Fellowship. Philanthropy.
About Being A Shriner
FUN
From riding around in little cars, to wearing a clown nose, the best way to enjoy your membership in the Shriners fraternity is to get involved in one of our many units or clubs designed to fit the unique interests of our membership!
FELLOWSHIP
Many of our activities involve family, promote shared values and help develop next-generation leaders.
PHILANTHROPY
We operate the world's greatest philanthropy — Shriners Children's. Founded in 1922, it is now one of the largest pediatric healthcare systems in the world helping children with orthopaedic conditions, spinal cord injuries, burns and cleft lip and palate. Care is provided regardless of the families’ ability to pay.
