Major Project of the Colorado Elks Association
Each of the state Elks associations across the country has a State Major Project. Laradon is the State Major Project of the Colorado Elks Association.
Laradon was adopted as the Colorado Elks Major Project in 1950. Laradon is one of Elkdom's oldest continuous Major Projects and enjoys local, state and national recognition within the Elks community.
The Colorado Elks help Laradon in many different ways. A cross-section of Elks from across the state have served on Laradon's board of directors and committees from the very beginning of Laradon. Today, the majority of Laradon's board members are members of the Colorado Elks.
Elks donate food, clothing, supplies and equipment; sponsor individual Lodge fund raisers; contribute to Laradon's fund raising campaigns; remember Laradon in their Wills; and provide support and guidance through participation on Laradon’s Board of Directors, advisory groups and committees. Some Elks have even hired Laradon participants for jobs in their businesses.
As the State Major Project, Laradon is an extension of the Colorado Elks. The miracle of Laradon is a living symbol of the values and principles of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
