A Good Cause

Yesterday, I went into the Zorah Temple, located right next to Root hall. I was first intrigued by the architecture of the building, but upon entering, I was quite surprised with what this building is used for. The temple is actually a club for the Shriners Hospitals for children. After a brief discussion with a man in the main office, I learned that this club's function is to raise money to provide the medical costs required to treat child who are burn victims, born with arm or leg disfigurements, and several other serious medical problems. He told me that the building was built in 1927, but that the organization has been in Terre Haute since the beginning of the 20th century. I also learned that they hold fundraiser events to help provide the aid for the children and also to help pay for the upkeep of the building. This unique and beneficial organization is located throughout the United States and has made its way around the world. I implore anyone who reads this blog to get involved with various fundraiser activities and help support this fantastic cause. I, for one, have every intention of participating and to help provide free medical attention to children who need it.
