Spotlight on Service!

Throughout the weekend, the Elks National Foundation is hosting a supply drive. We’re asking Convention attendees to bring a pack of new socks for veterans experiencing homelessness or a new or gently used children’s book to promote literacy. Your Lodge will then be entered into a raffle to win a $2,000 CIP bonus grant. BIG NEWS! In honor of the CIP’s milestone birthday, we will be giving 20 $2,000 bonus grants away!

To enter the raffle, you must donate your item at the ENF booth during Convention. However, anyone attending can participate—even guests! The socks and books will be donated to local organizations in the Kansas City area. Donations can be dropped off at the ENF booth in the Exhibit Hall on Saturday and Sunday.
