THE 100 MILLION DOLLAR CLUB
It takes millions of dollars a year to operate the 22 Shriners Hospitals for Children. The money to operate these 22 hospitals comes from several sources: the hospital assessment paid by each Shriner; monies raised by Shrine fundraising; and income from the Shriners Hospitals for Children Endowment Fund. The endowment fund provides approximately 90% of the hospi-tals' operating income. This fund is supported by gifts and bequests of Shriners and non-Shriners alike. Too many people, both Shriners and non-Shriners, believe that if they cannot donate or leave a large sum or money, their gift will not count. Obviously, every contribution helps. In order to encourage Shriners and non-Shriners to contribute to Shriners Hospitals for Children, the HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR CLUB was es-tablished in 1972. The club got its name from its goal of adding 100 million dollars to the endow-ment fund through gifts or bequests of $100 or more.
There are three ways to become a member of the 100 Million Dollar Club: (1) By contributing $100 or more to Shriners Hospitals for Children; (2) By having your will include a bequest of $100 or more to Shriners Hospitals for Children; or (3) By adding a provision to an existing will leaving $100 or more to Shriners Hospitals for Children. All such contributions should be processed through Crescent Shrine Center.
Each donor receives a handsome $100 Million Dollar Club certificate. By contributing $100, you can feel like a million, knowing that you have helped to ensure that Shriners Hospitals for Chil-dren will be able to continue helping children in the years to come.
