One of our major annual efforts at Phoenix West Lodge #2729 is the Social Welfare Program which raises money to assist children, youth and families in need. Monies raised through activities such as our Social Welfare Dance and Social Welfare Charity Golf Tournament, provide a funding base for food baskets, the "Holiday Shopping Spree" for under privileged children that provides them with shoes and clothing so they can attend school proudly and unashamed.Our Esteemed Loyal Knight Larry Ranft is in charge of the program for the current (2012/2013) Elks Year and will be glad to answer questions about the program.
