The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the USA

The Elks are dear to those they help. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE) dispenses millions of dollars annually by way of its philanthropic works. The organization has about 1 million members and more than 2,000 lodges throughout the US. Its programs include veterans' events, athletic programs (Little League, Special Olympics), patriotic events (Flag Day, constitutional awareness raising), drug education (schools, doctor offices, hospitals), youth programs (Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts), and other community service. Founded in 1868, the BPOE began as a social drinking club of actors before deciding to put their fraternity to benevolent and protective uses.
