Important Information
 

The Maine Elks Association

Instituted in 1928, the Maine Elks Association consists of Local Lodges of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States of America. It currently has 22 member Lodges and over 11,200 men and women Elk members here in the State of Maine.
 

What we do as Elks in Maine

It is the purpose of our organization to unite all Elk members  in closer bonds of fraternity; to further good fellowship among Lodges, to protect and promote the interests of the Order here in Maine; to exchange ideas that are beneficial to Lodges of this State; to foster the virtues of Charity; Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity; and to further our patriotic devotion to the principles of the United States of America.

The Maine Elks Association organizes committees much the same as the Local Lodges, to assist the member Lodges in developing their local programs and performing their fraternal and charitable activities.

The State Association maintains benevolent, humanitarian, and charitable activities to engage the efforts of each local lodge, as well as each member of the Order in the State of Maine. We have one major project the Maine Children's Cancer Program.

The Maine Children's Cancer Program is an organization that provides integrated, comprehensive, clinical research-based medical care and psychosocial and practical support services to infants, children, and adolescents with cancer from throughout the state of Maine. The program strives not only to cure cancer in as many children as possible but also to support families throughout their experience of living with childhood cancer.

The State Association is a charitable organization. Each year,  Maine Elks  donate over $800,000 to charity, and volunteer over 70,000 hours to programs that support our youth, veterans, and to helping those less fortunate.
