Guiding Principles Fun, Fellowship, Philanthropy Shriners International is a fraternity with more than 200 temples (chapters) operating in several countries, thousands of clubs around the world, and thousands of members dedicated to the principles of brotherly love, relief and truth. While members enjoy the fraternity’s brotherhood, fun and fellowship, they are also dedicated to supporting their philanthropy, Shriners Children’s ™ . Shriners Children’s is a healthcare system dedicated to improving the lives of children by providing excellent pediatric specialty care, conducting innovative research and offering outstanding educational programs for medical professionals. Children up to age 18 with orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, craniofacial anomalies or sports injuries are eligible for care and receive all services in a family- centered environment, regardless of the families’ ability to pay. As a nonprofit organization, Shriners Children’s relies on the generosity of donors to carry out its three-part mission of patient care, research and education. Direct donations, proceeds from fundraising events, estate gifts and support from the Shriners fraternity allow this internationally renowned healthcare system to provide care for thousands of patients each year. Shriners Children’s is grateful to every donor who helps make this work possible.
