Annual Report 2023-2024

Shriners International is a fraternity based on fun, fellowship, and the Masonic principles of brotherly love, truth and relief. Shriners International is more than a fraternity. Shriners are part of an amazing brotherhood where they are building lifelong friendships while also supporting a unique healthcare system. Shriners International currently has 201 temples operating throughout the world, and there are thousands of geographically based clubs and interest groups worldwide. Shriners International DEDICATED TO FUN, FELLOWSHIP & PHILANTHROPY

Shriners temples sponsor organized activities through clubs and units to engage members and promote fellowship. These range from motor corps, gaming units, and cosplay units, to taproom, sports and barbecue clubs. In addition, something that sets Shriners apart from other fraternities is the ability to “build your own experience.” This means that members are encouraged to create new events, clubs and units according to their own interests.

The fraternity’s primary philanthropy is Shriners Children’s, which provides care for orthopedic conditions, burn injuries, spine conditions and spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate. Founded in 1922, our healthcare system has treated more than 1.5 million children worldwide. What began as one hospital over 100 years ago is now a world-renowned healthcare

system with locations in three countries and outreach clinics that help children get care closer to home.

Our members are known for their compassion for others, and for being active contributors to supporting local community initiatives. Shriners help make the world a better place. To learn more, please visit shrinersinternational.org and shrinerschildrens.org .
