Jaffa Shrine members begin annual crusade

Members of the Jaffa Shrine will be distributing their free tabloids for the Annual Shrine Hospital Crusade on Friday and Saturday.

The tabloid includes stories about Pennsylvania children treated in Shrine orthopedic and burn hospitals and has information on how to contact the Shrine about help for a child with a cleft lip or cleft palate or who is crippled or burned.

Treatment is provided for children up to age 18 at the Shrine’s 19 orthopedic and three burn hospitals. The budget for the facilities this year is $870 million.

Shriners also will accept donations during the crusade. For information, contact the Jaffa Shrine at P.O. Box 1984, Altoona, PA 16603. For information on the hospitals, call the Jaffa recorders office at 944-4043 or 800-523-3211.
