Fraters, Loyal Ladies & Friends,
Greetings:
In July of 2025, the four Sovereign Grand Commanders, at our annual summit, held in Philadelphia, PA, agreed to participate in a united effort to support a charity. We each appointed fraters as members of a committee to identify a worthy charity to make a collective donation. The committee agreed on the non-profit Tunnels to Towers.
Since 9/11 Tunnels to Towers has been helping America’s heroes by providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children and by building specially adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders. They are also committed to eradicating veteran homelessness and helping America to never forget that dreadful day, September 11, 2001.
Because this year is the 25th anniversary of 9/11, the four Sovereign Grand Commanders plan to make a check presentation to the Tunnels to Towers Foundation on September 11, 2026. The Tunnels to Towers Foundation is a 501(c)(3) entity, donations are tax-deductible. We solicit your contributions to support this worthy cause. You may make your contributions and learn more about Tunnels to Towers by scanning the QR code or clicking the link below. Please share this with your Scottish Rite Bodies, friends, and families.
Thank you for your support and may God bless you, our veterans, and the United States of America.
Dr. Corey D. Hawkins, Sr., 33°
Sovereign Grand Commander
