Our Favorite Local Charities
Hiram Lodge #1, is honored and privileged to help support these programs and charities within our city, with both manpower and funds. We are are happy to be supporters of all these fine organizations:
The Tommy Fund Since 1953, The Tommy Fund for Childhood Cancer, has supported families whose children are undergoing cancer treatments at Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale New Haven. The Tommy Fund provides direct payment for rent, mortgage and utility bills so parents can take time off from work to tend to their child. The clinic sees several hundred newly-diagnosed children each year and treats more children with cancer than any other hospital in Connecticut.
