The Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks (BPOE) is one of the largest charity-focused fraternal organizations in the United States. The organization seeks to serve local communities through use of benevolent programs. Some of the projects undertaken by BPOE are arranging college scholarships to graduating high school seniors and drug-awareness programs for school age children, as well as various programs for veterans and children.
The Springfield Lodge of Elks also has a beautiful banquet facility and outdoor pavilion. These are ideal venues for birthday parties, holiday parties, baby showers, weddings, receptions, or other events.
