Pace Setter Lodge Donors
Lodges who have made significant gifts as multi-year pledges in support of the Let’s Write the Future campaign receive a special distinction as Pace Setter donors. We are deeply appreciative to the Pace Setter lodges who have shown their deep commitment to Masonic charity and relief by launching our efforts on behalf of those in need.
This San Diego-area lodge, chartered in 1906, is one of the fraternity’s most generous donors. In addition to their significant local charitable efforts, in late 2016, brothers made a $32,000 donation to the California Masonic Foundation – then the largest gift in Foundation history. In 2018, they reprised this gift with a five-year pledge of $100,000, the first Pace Setter lodge gift in the Let’s Write the Future campaign.

This historic lodge has been a stalwart of California Masonry since the beginning – California Lodge held its first meeting in 1849, a year before they helped form the Grand Lodge of California. Today’s members continue a tradition of providing relief to those in need. In addition to adopting an elementary school and other local charitable initiatives, California Lodge has made a generous $180,000 pledge to the California Masonic Foundation.
