Description
"Shriners International is an American Masonic society, with over 200 chapters across nine countries, with a global membership of nearly 1.7 million, and notable for its charitable network of 22 children's hospitals.
It is recognizable for its Middle Eastern-inspired iconography, ceremonies, and motif: Shriners wear distinctive red fezzes as their official headgear, while fraternal regalia often features camels, pyramids, the Sphinx and other ancient Egyptian and Arabian symbols.
Shriners International describes itself as a global fraternity based on fun, fellowship, and the Masonic principles of brotherly love, relief, and truth.
Notable American Shriners include FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, actors Mel Blanc, John Wayne, Ernest Borgnine, and Roy Rogers, and presidents Gerald Ford, and Harry Truman."
