An OES chapter from Alabama said this about their area’s love for Rada:

“We did a fundraiser a few years ago for our Eastern Star Chapter (Golden Rule #6). We have gotten several requests to have another one. Thanks for all your help!”

The Shriners, closely related to Freemasonry and otherwise known as the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, are famous for their charity, especially toward Shriners Hospitals for Children. There are approximately 340,000 members around the world. They are famous for their red fezzes and their presence at many parades in which they drive small cars.

To raise money to be put toward helping their hospitals, Shriners often fundraise.

A group from Missouri said this about fundraising with Rada Cutlery:

“I am helping the Shriners do their fundraisers this year. Previously, my granddaughter had sold your cutlery for a pre-school fundraiser. I absolutely love the stuff.”

The Shriners have two women’s auxiliaries: The Ladies’ Oriental Shrine and Daughters of the Nile. Both groups also fundraise for the Shriners Hospitals for Children.

A Daughter of the Nile from Ohio knew how fast her Rada Knives would sell:

“Everyone that ordered last year are now wanting Rada Christmas presents!”

The Knights of Columbus, the world’s largest fraternal Catholic organization, prides itself in philanthropic efforts for the Church and local communities. The Knights are known for their volunteer efforts as well as large contributions to charity. In 2010, the Order donated over $150 million to charity.

To fund their needs, many Lions Clubs turn to Rada. A Missouri club member said this about fundraising with Rada Cutlery:

“I used to belong to an organization that sold your products years ago. They were always an easy sell as they were such good knives. Our Lions group is looking for a fund raising project for next year and I suggested we take a look at your products.”

Kiwanis is an organization made up of 240,000 volunteers worldwide “dedicated to changing the world, one child and one community at a time.” Among their many standards, they actively practice the Golden Rule and promote citizenship, but above all, their mission is service.
