Fullerton Elks Lodge No. 1993
We are…
Elks Lodge brings so much more to the community than just a building, club or pool. We are a place where neighbors come together, families share meals, and children grow up. Elks invest in their communities through programs that help children grow up healthy and drug-free, by undertaking projects that address unmet need, and by honoring the service and sacrifice of our veterans.
Our Mission
This Fraternal Order was founded "To promote and practice the four cardinal virtues of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity; to promote the welfare and enhance the happiness of its members; to quicken the spirit of American Patriotism and cultivate good fellowship."
Origin
The Elks organization was founded in New York City on February 16, 1868 under the name "Jolly Corks" by 15 actors, entertainers and others associated with the theater. In ensuing years, membership expanded to other professions.

The Order spends more than $80,000,000 every year for benevolent, educational and patriotic community programs — benefiting physically handicapped children, Elks National Foundation scholarships, scouting, athletic teams, veterans' works, and the national "Hoop Shoot" free-throw contest involving more than 3 million children.
