Shriners...Helping Kids Defy the Odds

As Shriners we look beyond ourselves to serve the needs of others, especially children who cannot help themselves. We believe Shriners Hospitals to be the world's greatest philanthropy, and we covenant with each other to support its "temples of mercy" with spirit, time, talent, and means." 
- Excerpt from the Shriners Creed

The Shriners of North America founded Shriners Hospitals for Children in 1922. In just over 86 years, what began with one hospital in Shreveport, La. has grown into a one-of-a-kind international pediatric health care system. Shriners support the hospitals with their time, talent, and treasure...and by encouraging others to get involved.

Thank you, Shriners, for all you do for our kids!
