Charitable Giving

You can add a donation to your bar tab, give at the front office, or give online — and you can direct it toward a specific cause if you want.

Where It Goes

  • Elks Care — a fund for urgent needs, disaster relief, and members seeking help through Lodge-issued grocery gift cards
  • Veterans Committee — the Lodge adopted the 193rd National Guard Troop and regularly hosts fundraisers supporting active and former service members
  • Laradon Hall — services for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, one of the Lodge’s longest-running partnerships
  • The Denver Elks #17 Scholarship Fund — formerly the Bennett Fund, now run in partnership with Denver North High School
  • The Clem & Evelyn Audin Memorial Fund — established in 1975, supports education, health, and care for young people
  • Youth Activities & Drug Awareness — the Elks have run a national drug-prevention program since 1982; locally, that means athletic banquets, school fundraisers, and Lodge space for youth clubs
  • Bienvenidos Food Bank — a food insecurity partner near the Lodge, plus regular blood drives
