National Charities

We, annually, contribute to the charities that are supported by our national OSIA.

As a nonprofit, charity is an integral part of our lodge. 
We are proud to help.

Logo for the Cooley’s Anemia Foundation

The mission of the Cooley’s Anemia Foundation is to increase life expectancy and enhance the quality of life for those impacted by thalassemia, a class of genetic blood disorders, most of which require regular blood transfusions and aggressive management of chronic iron overload, the predominant cause of early death. We do so by funding medical research to advance treatment and curative approaches, by supporting and advising patients and their families and advocating on their behalf and by educating medical professionals and the general public.
Every day, we strive for longer and healthier lives for all patients with thalassemia until a universal cure is found.

Logo for The National Alzheimer’s Association

The Alzheimer’s Association leads the way to end Alzheimer’s and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.

Logo for the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism

Mission: To help people and families affected by autism live life to the fullest.

Vision: A world where people with autism lead productive lives where they are included, respected, and actively engaged in their communities.

Promise: Our programs and activities improve the quality of everyday life for people and families affected by autism along seven key dimensions that are critical to living each day fully. We aim to provide a path for education and/or employment during the day; opportunities for physical and social activity outside of work/school; and the tools to be safe, supported, and informed at all times.
