As part of the Shriners International network, we support 22 Shriners Hospitals for Children across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. These world-renowned pediatric hospitals provide life-changing medical care to children with orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate, regardless of their family’s ability to pay.
Our philanthropy is at the heart of everything we do. Through our events, fundraisers, and volunteer work, Medinah Shriners has helped thousands of children and families in need. When you become a Shriner, you join a brotherhood dedicated to making the world a better place, one child at a time.

Whether you’re interested in classic cars, music, sports, or community service, there’s a club or unit for you at Medinah.
Our temple is a place where lifelong friendships are formed, and where men from all walks of life come together to support each other and their community. We believe in the power of brotherhood, and we welcome new members who share our values of love, relief, and truth.

Today, the Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine is one of the largest and most respected fraternal organizations in the world, with nearly 200 chapters throughout North America and beyond.
As a Shriner, you’ll be part of a proud tradition that spans generations and continents. You’ll wear the iconic red fez, a symbol of our commitment to helping others and having fun along the way.
