This is the local headquarters of the Shriners, a fraternal organization famous for its Shriners Hospitals for Children, which provide free orthopedic and burn care to children under age 18. All of the Shriners' activities are geared toward raising funds to support these hospitals.
The major annual fundraiser is the Salaam Shrine Circus, which takes place each May at the Mennen Arena in Morristown. Group discounts and ample handicap-accessible seating are available. Tickets go on sale in December for the next May. The Shrine Center in Livingston also holds breakfasts, brunches, dinners and raffles for members and for the public.
