As we gather around the Thanksgiving table, all of us at the Elks National Foundation have a lot to be thankful for. Here are the top 10 reasons we are thankful this season.

• That youth engage in healthy competition; connect with family, each other and the Elks; and succeed both on and off the court through the Elks Hoop Shoot.

• That veterans in need have the support they deserve.

• That dedicated students can attend the colleges of their dreams thanks to their ENF scholarships.

• That kids lead healthy lives thanks to the Elks Drug Awareness Program.

• That Elks are meeting local needs by using Community Investments Program grants.

  Titusville, Pa., Lodge No. 264 uses an ENF Gratitude Grant to provide meals and support for community members in need.
