The Washington State Elks Association is part of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States of America, the country’s premier charitable and patriotic organization.
Making a Difference in Washington State
The Washington State Elks Association is essentially a charitable organization. From April 1 through March 31, the Elks of Washington State generate funds and volunteer work in support of our many programs. For over 130 years, the Washington State Elks Association has been actively promoting the principles of our Order and supporting our 35 lodges throughout the state.
Our Mission
Our purpose is to unite all Elks in closer bonds of fraternity, to promote the interests of the Order, exchange items beneficial to local lodges, foster the virtues of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity, and to further patriotic devotion to the principles of the United States of America.
Supporting Communities Across Our State
Elks lodges bring so much more to their communities than just a building, golf course, or pool. Our lodges have provided therapy services to children for over 70 years and supported our veterans for as long as the lodges have been in existence. We continue giving scholarships to students in our communities, promote Americanism, youth activities, and fight the war on drugs through our Drug Awareness Program.
Become a Member and Make a Difference
Our lodges and over 19,000 members make up our family of Elks, and our lodges are places where neighbors come together, families share meals, and children grow up.
