Shriners International is a fraternity based on fun, fellowship and the Masonic principles of brotherly love, relief and truth.
The possibilities for having fun as a Shriner are endless.
Our local Shrine Centers (chapters) around the world have thousands of activity-based clubs, units and events that provide ways for members to connect with each other in a fun environment. A unique aspect of our local chapters is that creativity is encouraged, and if a club for a particular activity doesn’t exist, members are empowered to create one.
We seek to attract men of different backgrounds, career paths, ages and interests, and the unique ideas, beliefs and perspectives they bring to our global Shriners family. Our members are known for their loyalty, camaraderie and their steadfast support of each other, their communities and their philanthropy, Shriners Children's.
Do you think you can whip up the best gumbo in the South?
The Gumbo Shootout at the Shrine is a fundraising event to help support our local Shrine Temple. “Proceeds are for the benefit of Hadji Shriners activities. Payments are not deductible as charitable contributions.”
In this competition, you will be competing against other Gumbo connoisseur's alike to see if you have what it takes to be the best gumbo cook in Pensacola. You will be competing against multiple other gumbo teams and will be able to choose either seafood or chicken/sausage category to compete in.
FOR THE PUBLIC, We will be selling wristbands for $20. People’s Choice is voted on with tokens. Each person purchasing a Wrist Band will be given one token for voting. Additional tokens can be purchased for $5.00 for voting. (Remember this is a fundraiser for Hadji Shrine, so the more tokens the better!!!) Children under 12 will be admitted free of charge.
We look forward to having a fun filled day and hope to see everyone there.
