Have you ever wondered who makes up the Shriners? Shriners come from all walks of life – they are plumbers and professionals, salesmen and CEOs, fathers, uncles, and sons. And they are also brothers. While their backgrounds and interests may be diverse, Shriners are bound together through shared values and a desire to have fun, do good and build bonds that last a lifetime. They are a brotherhood of men committed to family, engaged in ongoing personal growth and providing care for children and families in need. As a Shriner, you will become part of a powerful network of mentors who can help you grow – as a man, a father and a husband. You will develop relationships that will benefit your life, and maybe even your business and career goals, with the chance to pass lessons of leadership along to the next generation. Today there are approximately 350,000 Shriners belonging to 191 chapters around the world. Not surprisingly, there are well-recognized men from entertainment, sports and politics who proudly call themselves Shriners.
