Masonic Support of Special Olympics Ties All-Time High

For the second consecutive year, the Ohio Masons donated $200,000 to the Ohio Special Olympics to help finance their annual Summer Games in Columbus.

“A total of $200,000 in our 200th year has a nice ring to it,” Grand Master Ronald L. Winnett said. “That equals $1,000 for each year of our existence.”

The Grand Master, Grand Lodge Officers and other dignitaries from the Fraternity led a procession of about 400 Masons into Jesse Owens Stadium on the Ohio State University campus in June to help kick-off the 2008 Summer Games. They were followed by the parade of athletes in the traditional opening ceremonies.

As part of the ceremony, Grand Master Winnett presented an oversized check for the $200,000 to the Special Olympics.
