While the Shelby County Shrine Club likes to have a good time and be a part of the community, there is an important and serious side to the organization. That side is where the true purpose of the organization lies. Tim Finks, Owner of EcoWater of Shelby County, is a dedicated Shriner and said that the purpose of Shriners is helping children with physical disabilities or who were burn victims.

Finks said, the Shelby County Shrine Club doesn't go for the big fundraisers to help the children because they don't have a club large enough to do so. But they do have fundraisers that help them raise as much money as they can, including a raffle being held throughout the summer.

Proceeds will go to the St. Louis Hospital for care and research. Finks recently appeared on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
