Alzafar Shriners
The Alzafar Shriners are a proud chapter of Shriners International, a fraternity based on fun, fellowship, and philanthropy — with a mission rooted in making a difference.
Located in San Antonio, Texas, Alzafar brings together men of integrity, compassion, and a deep sense of community. While we enjoy parades, events, and strong social bonds, our greatest pride lies in supporting Shriners Children’s, a network of pediatric specialty hospitals providing world-class care to children regardless of their families’ ability to pay.
Through fundraising, service, and family-friendly events, Alzafar Shriners are committed to building stronger communities and brighter futures — one child, one family, and one act of kindness at a time.
What does it mean to be a Shriner
It means a man who cares about his community. A good Father, Brother or Son. A good Husband and Friend. A man who loves his family. Values friendship. Embraces life … And always gives back. The Fez is our ancient symbol but the modern man who wears it is a man who makes a difference.
Leadership at Alzafar
The Divan is the governing body of the Alzafar chapter of the fraternity, consisting of 6 Officers who act as a Board of Directors for the Alzafar Chapter.
Shriners Children's
The Shrine’s charitable arm is the Shriners Children's. Shriners Children's is a network of non-profit medical facilities across North America. Children with orthopaedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate are eligible for care and receive all services in a family-centered environment, regardless of the patients' ability to pay.
