Generally speaking every masonic body has a specific "charity" which they support. Fund raisers if not ear-marked for another purpose are suppose to go to said charity. Blue lodge is the first step in masonry and in Pennsylvania our main charity is the D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program. Knights Templar in Pennsylvania support the eye foundation. Grotto Prophets support Denistry for the Handicapped Children. Shrine or Shriners main charity is the burn hospitals (These are at absolutely no charge to the children treated) All expenses are paid for by the Shrine hospitals collectively. As Jason has stated in one of his treads, to become a member of the Shrine, One must first belong to the "Blue Lodge" then petition the other bodies including the Shrine. You can not become a member of the Shrine without being a member of Blue Lodge.
