ABOUT
All Shriners are Masons
To become a Shriner, a man must reach the level of a Master Mason in Freemasonry.
​
Freemasonry dates back hundreds of years with its earliest members being stonemasons and operative craftsmen. The organization evolved over the centuries to include men from all walks of life, and is now one of the largest and most widely known fraternal organizations in the world. From the explosive growth of Freemasonry, several appendant, affiliated and allied organizations were created over the last 200 years to advance unique elements of the fraternal order.
​
Men throughout the world further their Masonic affiliation through involvement and continued service to appendant body organizations like Shriners, which have a Masonic membership prerequisite to join and remain in good standing. Many of these organizations have an established partnership with Shriners International.
​
Through collaborative ventures such as BeAFreeMason.org, appendant body participation in the Shriners International Education Foundation (SIEF) Noble Academy, and work with several advisory committees, Shriners International serves as a fraternal leader committed to the overall growth and development of the Masonic family of members and organizations.

Who are the Shriners?
​
Shriners are distinguished by an enjoyment of life and a commitment to philanthropy. They enjoy parades, trips, dances, dinners, sporting events and other social occasions. They support what has been called the Worlds Greatest Philanthropy, Shriners Children's, a network of 22 pediatric specialty hospitals, operated and maintained by the Shriners. All children, up to 18 years old, may be eligible for treatment at Shriners Hospitals if they, in the opinion of the hospitals chief of staff, could benefit from the specialized care available at Shriners Children's. Eligibility is not based on financial need or relationship to a Shriner.
