EducationDevon Lodge No. 92 Donates $1,020 to the Uniontown High School Softball Team

Devon, Kansas (November 24, 2021)—The Kansas Masonic Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to benefiting Kansas communities, has partnered with Devon Lodge No. 92 to donate $1,020 to the Uniontown High School Girls Softball Team.

Founded in 1897, Devon Lodge No. 92 is a Kansas Masonic Lodge dedicated to Freemasonry, the oldest surviving fraternal organization in the world. This Kansas Masonic lodge has 40 members that support various local organizations, including the Devon Community Center, Wreaths Across America, and the Sharing Bucket, a local group that helps provide resources and support to cancer survivors. The lodge has also hosted free cancer screenings for community members through help from the Kansas Masonic Foundation and has awarded scholarships to local students. 

“The Brethren of Devon Lodge No. 92 strive to donate to local community and youth organizations in our area where we can make a difference,” said Devon Lodge No. 92 Senior Warden Donald Wheeler. 

This year, to further their philanthropic reach and continue supporting youth organizations within the community, the Brothers at Devon Lodge No. 92 have teamed up with the Kansas Masonic Foundation to provide a monetary donation of $1,020 to the Uniontown High School Girls Softball Team. This donation is the sole source of fundraising for the team and will be put toward purchasing uniforms and any necessary equipment outside the school budget. A formal donation announcement will take place later this year during a predetermined high school basketball game.
