About Us:

We are members of the International Moose Fraternity and as such, we all have our unique stories of how we became members.  We come from all walks of life and all ages.  Our ranks include the construction worker, the retiree, the business owner, the ex-service member, the politician, the homemaker, the hardware store employee, the tech guy who fixes your computer, and many others.  We all joined for different reasons.  Some joined because they wanted to help others and some joined for purely the social aspects of our fraternity.  Nevertheless, for whatever the reason, when we joined we all took an oath to uphold the traditions and ideals that were set in motion in 1888 when Moose International was created.

Our Moose Fraternity supports many different deserving charitable organizations and individuals through our philanthropic volunteering and donations, but our most important charities are Mooseheart and Moosehaven.

Mooseheart is a “child city” which was founded in 1913 as a place dedicated to providing a home for children in need.  It is located 40 miles west of Chicago on a 1000-acre campus.  It provides a place where kids can go and stay in a safe, secure, and nurturing environment while receiving a top-notch education.  The school is home to kids of all ages from infancy to high school.  Mooseheart takes in kids that have lost parents and others in just unhealthy environments.
