"Since 1968, Special Olympics has been spreading the message: people with intellectual disabilities can – and will – succeed when given the opportunity. And it all happens through the simple power of sport.....Through the power of sports, people with intellectual disabilities discover new strengths and abilities, skills and success. Our athletes find joy, confidence and fulfillment -- on the playing field and in life. They also inspire people in their communities and elsewhere to open their hearts to a wider world of human talents and potential."
Each year, Freemasons in Ohio donate thousands upon thousands of dollars to one of our favorite charities - Special Olympics. In the past six to eight years, our combined yearly donations in Ohio have exceeded $175,000 and have even reached as high as $205,000 in some years.
In order to continue to do our part to contribute to this, our most cherished charity event, the Pataskala Masonic Lodge attempts to raise enough charity monies to sponsor a few athletes on our own. As with everything nowadays, the cost of sponsorship has risen steadily over the years. It's estimated that the cost to sponsor just one athlete is now as much as $175 per year.
So as you can see, we need your continued support and assistance to meet our obligations and raise monies for this most worthy cause. This year's goal is to sponsor at least three, if not four, athletes so we desperately need you to contact the lodge with your donations, seek out Masons at our community functions and tell them you wish to donate, or contact the Lodge through this website or on our Facebook page and find out how to arrange for donations to be made to our Lodge. No donation amount is too small.
Make checks payable to Pataskala Lodge #404 and send donations to:
Pataskala Masonic Lodge #404
P.O. Box 404
Pataskala, Ohio 43062
Please put SPECIAL OLYMPICS - #404 in check memo
100% of our donations collected for Special Olympics goes to Special Olympics!
THANK YOU!

"The Ohio Masonic Home Foundation scholarship program was established in 2002 through a generous gift dedicated to provide for a perpetual student scholarship program. Through wise management of this resource the Ohio Masonic Home Foundation has been able to continue offering this opportunity which provides financial aid to students who are themselves freemasons, or the children and grandchildren of Ohio freemasons. The program is primarily based on financial want with special emphasis on applicants who have demonstrated a need because of death or disability of a parent or guardian.
In the past five years, the scholarship program has awarded 99 scholarships, totaling $130,000, which have enabled over 85 students to attend college and help to defray the costs of higher education.
The Ohio Masonic Home Foundation believes in supporting the future generation on their journey to becoming worthy representatives of society and good citizens of our country. Donate now if you would like to join us in this mission."
