I don't know about the masons but the Shriners do incredible charity/healthcare work on behalf of children. They hold golf tournaments with popular stars - Justin Timberlake was their celeb here few yrs. ago and I think he's still involved with them. They have children's hospitals throughout the US and are affiliated with attorneys and renown doctors/surgeons that donate their time for the healthcare needs regardless of the family's income. They send medical specialists into states quarterly that don't have a Shriner hospital and I'm sure pay for families expenses to travel to their hospitals. They know how to raise money, get the job done and have great socials for members.
There's no way in hell that WT is any way affiliated or connected to Shriners who are magnanimous men doing so much good for children.
