Kansas Masonic Foundation Supports Local Kansas Masonic Lodge With Recreation Donation

Harper, Kansas (December 29, 2023)—The Kansas Masonic Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to benefiting Kansas communities, has partnered with Harper Lodge No. 206 to donate $5,000 to the Harper Recreation Commission, an organization responsible for maintaining youth baseball, softball, and soccer fields.

Founded in 1882, Harper Lodge No. 206 is a Kansas Masonic lodge dedicated to Freemasonry, the oldest surviving fraternal organization in the world. The lodge has 115 members and is highly active in the local community. Some of their most notable contributions include aiding community food banks with delivery services when needed and raising funds for the Harper Library. 

“Our goal is to support the community, both with monetary donations and volunteer work,” said Harper Lodge No. 206 Secretary Travis Womack. “Through the Kansas Masonic Foundation and their Matching Funds Program, we have been able to increase our giving to worthy organizations like the Harper Recreation Commission.”

To further their mission of assisting the community, the Brothers at Harper Lodge No. 206 have teamed up with the Kansas Masonic Foundation to donate $5,000 to the Harper Recreation Commission. The Harper Recreation Commission is responsible for maintaining the local baseball, softball, and soccer fields used by high school and youth recreation teams. This year’s funds donated will help purchase new scoreboards for the fields and relocate them for easier viewing during games. A formal donation announcement will take place in the coming weeks.
