Help Make A Difference

Volunteers from the Oregon State Elks Association donate thousands of hours volunteering at the Casey Eye Institute assisting patients and staffing the information desk.  

Each child who arrives for surgery receives a colorful handmade quilt, courtesy of the Elks ladies around the state who sew and send them to the clinic.

The Elks help sponsor Casey Eye Institute's annual Summer Fest, where children visit Oaks Park to play games, get their faces painted and more. The Oregon Elks also sponsor a statewide poster contest for children. Hundreds of Elks throughout the state volunteer to help screen thousands of Oregon’s preschool children for vision problems.
