Today, Ansar Shrine is proud to present a $25,000 contribution to the Shriners international Education Fund!

We are incredibly honored to support an organization that helps strengthen our fraternity through education, leadership development, and member engagement.

At Ansar, our commitment extends beyond the incredible care provided by Shriners Children’s. We are equally committed to the future of our fraternity—supporting the programs, leaders, and initiatives that will help the Shrine grow and thrive in Illinois and around the world for generations to come.

By investing in education, we are investing in the future of Shrinedom.

We Are Shriners.

Ansar Shriners is proud to support the future of our fraternity with a $25,000 donation to the Shriners International Education Foundation (SIEF).

Why? Because they believe membership is the heartbeat of everything we do. "From welcoming new nobles to building stronger connections across Masonic bodies, our commitment to growth is inspired by the powerful insights gained through SIEF—especially the Membership & Marketing Conference"

From launching new clubs and strengthening lodge partnerships to reengaging with the community, Ansar is putting these insights into practice, every day!

“We’re honored to give back to the fraternity, support fellow nobles, and help ensure a strong, vibrant future for generations to come.”

Thank you, Ansar Shriners!

There are big questions in life.⁉️

There are important answers. ‼️

And then there are Farmall tractors. 🚜

Only at Ansar.

We may never know the meaning of life, but we do know this: at Ansar Shrine, there is always a good story, a good laugh, and probably someone who can identify farm equipment from 200 yards away.

Come for the fellowship. Stay for the tractors.

Five Shrines holding it down across Illinois, each one bringing its own style, its own stories, and its own kind of fun.

You’ve got tradition, you’ve got brotherhood, and you’ve definitely got a little friendly rivalry mixed in. 😄

Because let’s be honest, it wouldn’t be the same without it.

Ever wonder how someone becomes a Shriner? It starts with the Blue Lodge.

Before joining Ansar Shrine, a man first becomes a Master Mason. From there, he can take the next step into the Shrine, where fellowship, family, fun, and philanthropy all come together. ❤️

Ansar Shrine is made up of men from Lodges across Illinois who share a commitment to brotherhood, service, and supporting Shriners Children’s.

Big things are happening at Ansar Shrine!

We’re proud to unveil our brand new billboard and newly wrapped patient transportation van — both helping us spread awareness of the incredible work being done for children and families every single day.

This van represents more than transportation. It represents hope, support, and our commitment to making sure patients can get the care they need at Shriners Children’s. ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who continues to support Ansar Shrine and the mission of Shriners Children’s. The future is bright, and we’re just getting started.

🔥 THE PORK CHOPS ARE BACK 🔥

If you know… you KNOW.

For years, pork chop Wednesdays at the Ansar Shrine were one of those Springfield traditions you did not want to miss. The smell of the grills rolling, the lines at lunch, the fellowship, the atmosphere… it was a whole experience.

After being gone for a while, we are fired up to say they are officially BACK. 🐷🔥

Our Masonic Brothers of Tyrian Lodge #333 will be serving grilled pork chop sandwiches in front of the Ansar Temple on:

📅 May 13
📅 May 20
📅 June 3
📅 June 17

⏰ Serving starts at 11AM

Sandwich’s are $8, make it a meal for $10!

If you work in Springfield, live nearby, or are going to be in town — trust us — you’re going to want to make plans to stop by.

This isn’t just lunch.
This is an old-school Springfield favorite making its return.

Bring your coworkers. Bring your friends. Bring your appetite.
