About the Michigan Elks

The Michigan Elks Association was started in 1904. The Michigan Elks Association sponsors the Michigan Major Projects and our Michigan Elks charitable fund “The Gold Key” helps special needs children after high school. As of today we have 53 active lodges in our state with a combined membership of 20,000 members.

Michigan Elks donate $11,420 for new equipment at D.J. Jacobetti Home for Veterans.
