A Gold Page Contribution is a Shriners Hospital donation of $500.00 or more. Donations of this type are usually memorials or
honorariums for individuals or groups. A Gold Page donation earns the donor a
listing in the hospital's Book of Gold, and a Gold Page Certificate
suitable for framing.
Contributions received in this manner at any of the Shrine Hospitals are
deposited in the Shriners Hospitals for Children Endowment Fund. Only the
interest earned on the endowment fund is used by the hospitals so a Gold Page
given in this manner remains deposited so it will yield interest every year for
the hospitals.
A Gold Page contribution may also be sent to the hospitals through the Kansas
Shrine Bowl. This method earns the donor the same listing in the Book of Gold and Gold Page Certificate. They are also acknowledged in the Gold Page section
of the annual Kansas Shrine Bowl Program Book with a full page printed in gold.
When a Gold Page contributor sends their contribution through the Kansas Shrine
Bowl they may designate it to go into the endowment fund just as if it were sent
directly to the hospital. Or, they may designate it to go as a part of the
Kansas Shrine Bowl contribution to the hospital. For contributions of this type,
all of the donor recognitions are still received, but the money is used directly
by the hospitals and not put in to the endowment fund. Because half of all
Kansas Shrine Bowl hospital contributions can be held in Kansas to be used by
the children's hospital transportation funds, these Gold Pages benefit both the
hospitals and the kids going to the hospitals for treatment.
Contributions of any size are welcome and may be mailed to:
Kansas Shrine Bowl
PO Box 176
Wamego, KS 66547
Contributions may also be set up on payroll deduction or charged
to a credit card by calling toll free, 800-530-5524. No contribution
from the heart is too small. All contributions will be acknowledged
and are, of course, tax deductible.
