Shriners to solicit funds for hospitals

6/13/2003

Zenobia Shrine members will distribute special editions of a newspaper about Shriners' hospitals June 20 and 21 in front of northwest Ohio stores, banks, and other businesses.

The annual fund-raiser collects donations to support Shriners' hospitals, which provide free medical care for patients with orthopedic problems, burns, and spinal-cord injuries.

Vans from the Zenobia Shrine in Toledo transport families several times a week to Shriners hospitals in Cincinnati, Chicago, and Erie, Pa.
