As an established fraternal and charitable organization, the Shriners dedicate their lives to helping children. With twenty-two Shrine hospitals located across North America, they offer orthopedic surgeries and life-saving burn treatments to local physically challenged children regardless of gender, race, or religion.
The Shriners Variety Shows serve two purposes. First, the funds raised from the yearly Shriners Variety Shows benefit the Shriners activities. The Shriners provide TRANSPORTATION and HOSPITAL CARE to children in our communities regardless of their families ability to pay. All funds raised in the Nanaimo area go directly to helping children in our community!
Secondly, the Shriners Variety Shows donated tickets are given to disadvantaged children and families within our community that would otherwise not have the means to attend the show. We work with local organizations in the Nanaimo area such as, The Boys and Girls Club, Child Development Centre, The Haven Society, Nanaimo Youth Services Association, and many others to help make real magic happen for those who need it the most!
