“The Kansas Masonic Foundation has long enriched the lives of Kansans by supporting programs that strengthen communities across the state. Since 1970, it’s been providing student scholarships that have created a wonderful opportunity for a multitude of our youth to receive a quality education, and as I’ve had the privilege of working with the foundation through the years, it’s raised nearly $30 million for cancer research.”
