Worthy Grand Matron:

Paws 4 Autism

I have chosen Paws 4 Autism because our family has experienced what it is like to an autistic child. This is a program that provides the soothing comfort to both adults and children that a trained dog can provide. All the money raised stays in Missouri.

Worthy Grand Patron:

Undersea Warriors

I chose this charity because it includes First Responders as well as veterans. The program teaches Veterans, and First responders how to Scuba Dive at no cost.

This program has proven to be very good for various forms of traumatic stress (sometimes called PTSD) which, as you may know, afflicts more than just our Veterans. Traumatic stress can affect anyone who has
experienced trauma. This program seeks to help by providing a unique opportunity to reconnect with life and the world around us.  The chapter I have chosen is located in Poplar Bluff Missouri and all donations from our order will be used in Missouri chapters of this organization.

CAMP VALOR

We would like to continue to support Camp  Valor as they continue to provide our  veterans with the help they need as they return to life that has changed since they were discharged from their military duties. We who aren’t military will never know how they have been impacted by their service.

Camp Valoris a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to our military veterans. We recognize and honor ill, injured, and wounded disabled veterans and their families through adaptive and competitive activities such as guided fishing, hunting, shooting, archery, 4-wheeling, or just simply relaxing around the campfire. Warriors are never alone on the battlefield and shouldn’t be alone when they come back home. Healing in the great outdoors with Camp Valor Outdoors and reconnecting with fellow warriors is therapeutic and essential to healing.
