A Night of Charity marks the Scottish Rite, NMJ’s annual Giving Tuesday event supporting the Children’s Dyslexia Centers, the Grand Almoner’s Fund, the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library, the Membership Education Fund, and the Abbott Scholarship Fund.
Each story shared during the evening highlights the profound impact of Brotherhood in action, from helping children find their voice through literacy to supporting Brothers and families in times of need.
Through every act of giving, we continue crafting our story — one of compassion, purpose, and enduring light.
