Thanks for posting Haddon. Those Shriners are some straight up guys. From a Shriners website:"

There is never a charge to the patient, parent or any third party for any service or medical treatment received at the hospitals, and no state, local or federal funding of any kind is sought or accepted by Shriners Hospitals.

Every patient at Shriners Hospitals is sponsored by a Shriner, who acts as a liaison between the family and the hospital. Shrine Temples and clubs often help arrange and pay for transportation for children and parents to the hospitals, and thousands of Shriners spend many hours of their own time driving families to the hospitals and entertaining the patients. In addition, the Shrine helps support the hospitals financially: Each Shriner pays an annual $5 hospital assessment, and Temples and clubs hold many fundraisers, some of which benefit Shriners Hospitals for Crippled Children.
