This inaugural event is an important part of our state’s long-range plan: transform an existing state gathering into an opportunity to raise community awareness of the good work Elks do across Washington. We want people to leave thinking, “Wow, the Elks do that?”
Yes, the Elks do that, and we do it well.
From supporting veterans to empowering youth and strengthening families, Elks are making a difference throughout Washington State.
Whether you’re volunteering your time or simply enjoying fellowship at the lodge, Elks members make our charitable work possible. That includes our Therapy Program for Children, which provides free in-home therapy to more than 400 families each year, helping children thrive and transforming the lives of entire families.
That’s the power of being an Elk.
This was just the beginning. We have a great story to tell, and together, we can help more communities discover what the Elks make possible.
Thank you again for being part of our first celebration. We look forward to building on this success together!
President Benjamin Braden
Washington State Elks Association
