Love to the Rescue, and a charitable mission that reaches far beyond Milwaukee.
For Tripoli Shriners, philanthropy is one of the clearest expressions of what the fraternity stands for.
Supporting children through a network built on specialty care, research, and compassion.
Shriners Children’s is a network of nonprofit medical facilities dedicated to improving children’s lives through pediatric specialty care, medical research, and teaching programs for medical professionals.
The mission emphasizes patient- and family-centered care, reminding visitors that this work is not only medical. It is relational, practical, and deeply human.
Care is provided regardless of a family’s ability to pay.
That principle is the moral center of the story. It means the charitable mission is meant to remove barriers, relieve fear, and make care available when families need it most.

A mission shaped by care, research, and long-term support.
The work connected to Tripoli’s charitable story reaches across multiple kinds of pediatric need while also investing in better treatment and future medical knowledge.
Conditions treated
The Shriners Children’s mission includes care for children with orthopaedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate.
Research and innovation
The mission includes research designed to improve treatment, quality of care, and long-term outcomes for patients and families.
Teaching and training
These facilities also support medical teaching, helping extend knowledge and improve care beyond any single hospital campus.
A phrase that puts generosity into action.
The phrase “Love to the Rescue” works because it is simple and direct. It connects charity to practical care and reminds people that philanthropy is not just about fundraising, it is about showing up for children and families with real support, real treatment, and real hope.
For Tripoli Shriners, this message helps connect the public life of the fraternity to the deeper reasons people value and support its work.
Compassion
Families facing medical challenges need more than treatment alone. They need encouragement, dignity, and confidence that they will be cared for with respect.
Community support
The charitable mission is strengthened by donors, members, volunteers, and supporters who help turn goodwill into actual care.
Visible purpose
Philanthropy gives the fraternity a visible and lasting reason for its public life, events, and institutional continuity.
An impact measured in lives, not just numbers.
The generosity of donors has helped more than one million children reach their potential and live more fulfilling lives.
That scale makes the mission tangible. It shows that philanthropy is not a side note to the Shriners story, it is one of its clearest and most important expressions.
Tripoli’s public image makes the most sense when its fellowship, pageantry, and traditions are connected directly to the work of helping children and families.
The charitable mission gives the shrine its deepest meaning.
It grounds the fraternity
Philanthropy helps explain why fellowship and tradition matter. It gives the organization a purpose larger than itself.
It strengthens public understanding
When visitors see the connection between Tripoli and children’s care, the shrine becomes easier to understand, support, and appreciate.
It honors the best of the institution
The most compelling version of the Tripoli story is the one that joins historic identity with generosity, service, and care for others.
