The real stars of Battle of the Diamond weekend are our Shrine kids. Special teams are formed just for them, with firefighters and officers stepping in to help at bat, on the bases, and in the field, making sure every child gets to play ball like everyone else and feel the cheers of the crowd.

This is what community looks like. Sept 11-12.

Fun fact: the red fez worn by Shriners dates back to the origins of the organization in the 1870s and has become one of the most recognizable symbols of who we are. Every fez tells a story of brotherhood and service.

Ever seen us out in our fezzes at a parade? Now you know the story behind it!

Did you know Shriners Children's provides care to kids regardless of a family's ability to pay? Every event we host, every dollar we raise, goes toward making sure kids get the care and support they need.

That's what it's all about.

It's brotherhood with a purpose.
