To recognize the importance of these donors, Shriners Hospitals have created a unique Donor Recognition Program. The program recognizes each donation with a unique award corresponding to the appropriate level.
Supporters can progress through the seven levels as additional contributions are made.
Donors' names are engraved on a golden brass plate that is permanently affixed to a Because We Care Givers plaque, which are located at each hospital and at International Shrine Headquarters. In addition, the donor receives the appropriate Gold Book Society award. The centers prominently display plaques featuring a bronze, silver or gold medallion. Each member of the Philanthropic Society or a member of his family also receives a commemorative plaque commending his support for Shriners Hospitals. This plaque features the appropriate medallion as well as a laser-engraved portrait of the donor.
