We are a fraternal order with nearly a million members and a 150-year history. Elks promote the principles of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity.


Who are the Elks?

Elks Lodges spend more than $80,000,000 every year for  benevolent, educational, patriotic, and community minded programs such as scholarships, scouting, athletic teams, a national Hoop Shoot free-throw contest, and Soccer Shoot. The Elks in Chanute also sponsors a Kids Fishing Derby, Easter Egg Hunt and other youth programs. All Elks Clubs are known for their veterans' works and other patriotic programs.
