The Mission of the Shriners is to be:

The Premiere Fraternal Organization for men of good character

Committed to providing attractive, quality programs and services for its membership, their families and friends in a spirit of fun, fellowship and social camaraderie. Fostering self improvement through leadership, education, the perpetuation of moral values and community involvement.  Serving mankind through the resources of its great philanthropy, the Shriners Hospitals for Children

We have been very fortunate over the past two years to receive grants from the Alberta Government, Community Spirit Program for our Al Azhar Shrine Hospital Patient Transportation Fund.  These funds have assisted in the payment of maintenance on the Shrine bus which transports patients to the Spokane Shriners Hospital and for airfare expenses for our patients travelling to other Shriners Hospitals throughout North America. 

We are very grateful to the Alberta Government for their support of our Philanthropy.  Their grants have allowed us to greatly impact the lives of our patients and their families.

In the past three years 5,031 applicants in Alberta, including the Al Azhar Shrine Hospital Patient Transportation Fund, have shared in a total of $52.9 million from this program.  These groups also included an arts group from the Crowsnest Pass, a women's shelter in Medicine Hat, a swim club from Grande Prairie, a historic society in Jasper and a provincial United Way organization, along with many other worthwhile projects.  Anyone interested in viewing the list of those charitable organizations who benefited from this program can find the information on the Government of Alberta website at http://www.communityspiritprogram.ca/.

It is great to see the difference the Community Spirit Program is making!
