Philanthropy

Shriners International established Shriners Children's as its official philanthropy in 1922 and continues to support it today.  It is now one of the largest pediatric sub-specialty healthcare systems in the world.  Al Amin Shriners, as the South Texas arm of Shriners International, is dedicated to this cause.  Our members and their families are committed to improving the lives of children throughout the Coastal Bend.  Through fundraising, volunteering, board leadership and more, the impact of Al Amin Shriners help Shriners Children's provide the most amazing care anywhere.  

Shriners Hospitals are dedicated to reaching as many children as possible, wherever they may live.  They care for their patients, conducting research to gain knowledge and develop new treatments, and provide education opportunities for physicians and other healthcare professionals.  Through this network, lives of children who may not have been able to receive treatment for their injury elsewhere.    These hospitals were originally set up when the US was seeing a Polio epidemic.  Today, Shriners Children's offers care for so much more.  From orthopedic issues, burn injuries, craniofacial conditions, spin care and spinal cord injuries, to colorectal and gastrointestinal care and sports medicine.  They have innovative and dedicated teams that work together to provide treatment to help each patient meet their goals and reach their full potential.  Supporting Shriners Children's is a way that you can help change and improve the life of a child.
