He was named “Shriner of the Decade” in 1990 for his numerous contributions to the Shriners fraternity and Shriners Hospitals over the years. Bracewell has also served as chairman of the Buildings and Equipment Committee, the Public Relations Committee and the Salaries and Personnel Committee. He was also chairman of the Shriners Hospitals Board of Trustees from 1986–1996.
