Special Needs Children’s Programs

Helping Michigan's Children

The Michigan Elks proudly support special needs children throughout our state, embracing every child regardless of race, creed, or color. We’re dedicated to extending a helping hand to families facing challenges in accessing essential treatments, ensuring that every child receives the care they deserve. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in their lives!

Special needs encompass a range of challenges that may impact a child's ability to thrive. Our program is dedicated to supporting children from one month to 12 years, with consideration for those up to 18. We primarily focus on medical assistance, aiming to empower each child to grow into a self-sufficient, healthy, and engaged member of the community. Together, we can create a brighter future for these children, helping them reach their fullest potential!

This event, like all our gatherings throughout the year, offers an incredible opportunity for individuals to connect, engage in friendly competition, and foster self-respect and personal growth. It creates those meaningful bonding experiences that are essential yet often elusive, enriching their lives and nurturing their sense of community and belonging.
