Our Scottish Rite RiteCare Speech and Language Clinics have also continued to be busy this year, with preschool therapy sessions, Bumpy Boot Camp in Lincoln, Project ImPACT parent training in Omaha, teletherapy in Kearney, and augmentative alternative communication (AAC) programs in Hastings. As you may have read in the Scottish Rite Journal, our Nebraska Clinicians were among the first to develop a teletherapy model of care in 2020, engaging children right from their own homes through joy-filled programs. Today, our RiteCare Clinics are back to in-person sessions, and the hugs and smiles the children have for their Clinicians is truly inspiring!

Donated by Scottish Rite Masons this year to date
I’m asking you to please consider a donation this year to help us continue to offer these extraordinary programs for Nebraska children. Donations to the Scottish Rite Foundation of Nebraska are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
Donations will benefit all the Nebraska RiteCare Clinics in Hastings, Kearney, Lincoln, and Omaha.
$1,000/yEAr
5 year Commitment
As part of the new Rose Croix Society, your donation of $1,000/year for a 5 year commitment ($83.33/month for 60 months) makes a dramatic impact on our ability to help children through building an endowment which will support speech therapy for years to come. Donors will receive the lapel pin, challenge coin, special acknowledgement from Dan Wellendorf, 33°, and special recognition in the Nebraska Scottish Rite Journal.
$300/year annual donation
As a SGIG Circle donor, your donation of $300 (or a pledge of $25/month for 12 months) supports pre-school group therapy sessions. Brethren donating at this level will receive the 101-Club lapel pin, the SGIG Circle challenge coin, and recognition in the Scottish Rite Journal.
$101/year Donation
As a $101-Club donor, you support the cost of a session of therapy for a Nebraska child. Donors will receive the newly-designed 101-Club lapel pin, and are asked to explain its significance to friends and Brethren
We are very grateful for the Scottish Rite RiteCare Clinic and for our wonderful speech-language pathologist Suzie Budzinksi! With her help and intervention techniques, we have seen great improvements in our son Luke’s communication skills! Luke has learned to initiate conversations, increasingly engage in pretend play, better navigate new situations, and interact more with the world around him. Because of these services, we feel confident in our abilities to play with him in ways that he enjoys and which also build his skills. We are thrilled to have found new techniques to reach our little guy and share in the joy of playing together!
