Since 1925, the East-West Shrine Game has been played to raise money and to increase public awareness of the specialty pediatric care available, at no charge, at Shriners Hospitals for Children. More than 865,000 young patients with orthopaedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate have received one-of-a-kind care at the 22 Shriners Hospitals throughout North America, two of which are in Houston and Galveston, Texas.

To date, this historic game has raised millions of dollars for Shriners Hospitals for Children and has helped inform millions of people about the mission of this extraordinary philanthropy.
