What better way can Elks help children than to sponsor seed grant research. We have the potential to not only help our own children but to help children all over the world.
Childhood diseases devastate children of all cultures, all economic levels.
The desire to help young researchers make their ideas reality was most compelling to the Elks of Arizona when we adopted the Children s Research Center as our Major Project in 1992. Inc. Since 1991, the Arizona Elks have focused fund raising efforts on the Steele Memorial Children's Research Center. This Center is part of the University of Arizona College of Medicine, but the work that's done there will help children across the state, and throughout the world. Our funds help researchers at the Children's Research Center find answers faster. If we tried to provide medical care for needy children, our funds would help only a select few.
