Prostate Cancer Prevention
By the time you read this page, another man will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. It happens every 3 minutes. There’s no better time than now to take action in the fight against prostate cancer.
We are committed to bridging the gap between racial and health disparities in prostate cancer among Black men. Our team, in collaboration with the Prostate Cancer Foundation, will help bring awareness of prostate cancer to high-risk men, strengthen existing early detection and education initiatives, and identify new ways to further address these issues in a consistent and impactful manner.

Scholarship opportunities
One of the guiding principles of Freemasons is providing influence to strengthen our community. We believe investing in our young people will strengthen our communities. The IL Prince Hall Scholarships are sponsored by the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge Free & Accepted Masons, State of Illinois, and its Jurisdiction.
Community involvement
The values of Freemasonry are based on integrity, kindness, honesty, and fairness. Freemasons are taught to practice charity and to care, not only for their own, but also for the community through charitable giving and volunteer efforts. We gather to help each other become better men and to forge a better world.
From its earliest days, Freemasonry has been concerned with the care of orphans, the sick, and the aged. This work continues today. Join with men of honor and integrity. Of deep caring with a devotion to helping others. Each with a vow to be the best they can be.
