Alzafar Shriners

05/31/2026

If you did not attend last night's Hospital Gala you missed a great time. About 175 Shriners, their families, friends and our sponsors were treated to great food, great bands, our live/silent auctions and we threw in the Spurs final for good measure. The Gala and the Spurs were both winners! But the biggest winners are our Shrine kids. It will be a few days before we have the final numbers, but it's looking very good to be near or over $60,000 net.

We had a tremendous crew of Nobles and volunteers who helped put this event together. I can't thank them enough for their hard work, support of the Shrine and dedication to our kids.

I also want to recognize our host, Blue Bonnet Palace and our major sponsors:
Joe Diliberto and the Canyon Lake Shrine Club - Diamond
Terry and Monette Littlepage and Family - Titanium
Mulholland Foundation and the Dailey Family Trust - Platinum
Steve and Hilde White, Zerimar Construction, Somerset Animal Clinic and SideAfects - Gold
Marty and Martha Bartlett, Ashley Smith and Dr. Dmitry Tuder and Altitude Audiology- Silver

Special thanks are due to Altrui Court #89, Ladies of the Oriental Shrine for their $4218 donation to Galveston Hospital and Noble Richard Wallace and the River City Big Band for their $3450 donation.

Our 2026 Hospital Gala is upon us! Doors open at 5:30PM tomorrow 5/30/2026 at the Blue Bonnet Palace in Schertz. We still have tickets available at the door for our event. They are $100 and include dinner, drink tickets, 2 live bands, live and silent auctions and a raffle. We have over 60 silent auction items, 8 live auction items including a seven-night stay in Costa Rica and a two-day off-shore fishing trip. This is our largest fundraiser for our kids. We hope you will join us!

Our auction crew is pictured taking a break after our final preparation day.

Many thanks to our donors, sponsors and volunteers! Without all of you this event could not happen!

The Camp Alzafar Men's Association and Ladies held an outstanding crawfish boil and pulled pork dinner at Camp Alzafar this evening! As a testament to the success of this event, they sold out of crawfish! 345 lbs of mud bugs gone in just over two hours.

Along with the food and desserts, we were entertained by "The Boys" who switched things up and became a country band. I didn't have that on my bingo card.

Our border Lodges and Clubs along with the San Antonio Scottish Rite were both well represented. Even five members of our Divan pitched in to help serve and clean up. Thank you Illustrious Sir Steve White, David Olivares, Dan Dailey, Steve Fisk and Illustrious Robert Norman II. Feedback from all involved was all positive.

The Alzafar staff would like to thank Noble David Hadley for taking time to prepare a delicious catfish lunch for us. This has become a yearly treat from Noble Hadley and all the Alzafar staff greatly enjoys the meal together. Thank you, Noble Hadley. We already look forward to next year!

🚨 Crawfish update, y’all! 🚨

Saturday’s boil is filling up FAST! We ordered 320 lbs of crawfish (enough for 120 plates) and the response has been AMAZING! 🦞🔥

At this point we only have about 45 plates left. If you’re planning on eating crawfish, please message us NOW so we can make sure we have enough for everyone. We pick up crawfish at 9 AM Friday!

There’s still time to order more…but we’ve gotta hustle! Don’t wait until all the mudbugs are gone 👀🦞

Noble Ricco Cardenas representing at the LaVerne car show. He arrived in true Shrine style in his Alzafar Titan truck "El Torro Loco" with lights, music and smoke. The judges were so impressed they put him in with the big trucks. He came home with 3 medals including a 1st Place! He also had many opportunities to promote Alzafar and Masonry. Great work Ricco!!

This year we are on track to do it again.

A Silver Table is $1600, seats 8, and includes: entry, 4 dinner stations, open bar from 6 to 9PM, live and silent auctions and two great bands. A Gold VIP table is just $400 more and gets you all of the previous perks, a gift for each person and an open bar all night. A Platinum Sponsor table is $5000 and in addition to everything that Gold gets, you will be served by the ladies of L.O.S. and receive special recognition during and after the event. Our Titanium Sponsors ($10,000) receive two tables for eight and all of the Platinum perks.

We will have a live and silent auction and raffle.
