Eastern Star & Rainbow Girl Fundraising Ideas

Many people know about the Freemasons, but not everyone knows that there is a Masonic order for girls and women as well… the Eastern Star and Rainbow Girl orders. Like all Masonic orders, they spend a lot of their time fundraising for the community and for local and national charities. Many Eastern Star and Rainbow Girl members are in need of fundraising to support their own clubs, for travel expenses to assemblies, for example. Fundraising is challenging, but also very rewarding.

One of the biggest decisions is often deciding what type of fundraiser to do. In Forest Park, IL, people lined up to score some screaming deals at the annual Rummage Sale Fundraiser for the Rainbow Girls. In Washington, Goldendale Rainbow Girls throw an Annual Turkey Dinner fundraiser in November to be able to pay their way to Grand Assembly. Fundraisers by other Eastern Star & Rainbow Girl orders include dinners, product sales, auctions, thons, boot camps, bake sales, and car washes.
