First Lady Charlene McGuire's Fundraising Program
Giving the Gift of Hope, Life and Dreams

At the 2009 Imperial Council Session in San Antonio, Texas, 2009-2010 First Lady Charlene McGuire announced her fundraising program, “Giving the Gift of Hope, Life and Dreams,” which benefits the Shriners Hospitals for Children emergency patient transportation fund. This fund will help sponsoring temples cover transportation costs for burn patients, who often need to be transported to Shriners Hospitals for Children in medically equipped airplanes, with medical professionals onboard to monitor them.

All nobles and ladies are encouraged to support this program, so burned children can receive the specialized care they need at Shriners Hospitals for Children. Opportunities may arise to share information about this important program with church groups, civic organizations, and temple units and groups throughout the year. Please download the following resources, available online, to print and use as appropriate:

For each donation of $25, donors will receive a choice of a beautiful gold and silver lady’s pin, designed as a Hope, Life and Dreams gift box with a bow, or a handsome burgundy men’s tie, with the Editorial Without Words image. Orders can be placed online by visiting www.donate2shc.org/firstlady, or by calling the Office of Development at Shriners International Headquarters at (813) 281-GIFT.
