The Free and Accepted Masons of Wisconsin are a Fraternal Organization with lodges located throughout the state. Philanthropy is just one of the values to which the Masons are committed. Some of the finest people in Wisconsin are Masons. Those whom you might recognize include Tommy Thompson, Scott McCallum, Lee S. Dreyfus, all former Wisconsin Governors, and JB Van Hollen, currently Wisconsin’s Attorney General. Others may include your neighbor, father, or other friends and family members.Masons and Non-masons work together to bring you what we have come to know as “Wisconsin’s Best Soccer Games” – The Wisconsin Masonic All Star Soccer Games.
The Masonic All Star Soccer Games have always supported donations to charity as part of their program. In 2008, after considerable thought and evaluation, we felt that scholarships would be the most charitable effort we could support. We know that few athletes ever receive an “athletic scholarship” – and soccer players receive fewer scholarships yet…. With that in mind, we are pleased to be able to begin 2008 with a new mission that we and – we hope the public, also will embrace. Beginning this year, proceeds from these games are directed toward Soccer Scholarships for Youth in Wisconsin.
