To raise the public’s awareness level of the Shriner Hospitals that care for the children. To help support the Augusta Shrine Club, Alee Temple, and the Greenville Shriners Hospital. Participate in parades, community projects, and Shrine functions and to have fun and fellowship accomplishing a common goal. The Augusta Shrine Club Go-Cart Unit was formed in 1962 by several members of the Augusta Shrine Club that attended a Shrine ceremonial in Jessup, GA. They realized that creating a new Go Cart Unit would not only be fun, but also benefit those children that require medical treatment through the Shriners Hospitals. The founding members are: Noble W.A. Hobbs, Noble Ira Carter, Noble Vadis Wylds, Noble Otis Pebbles, Noble Clyde Babb and Nobe Frank Heath
The Augusta Go-Cart Unit awards the IRA Carter - Frank Heath Award every year to the person who has the biggest impact on the unit and it was our honor and pleasure to give this award to Jewel Whitten whom over the years has been to most all of our meetings, always bringing food to contribute to our meals. To share her wisdom and be there for anyone in need. Jewel is loved by all and we share this tremendous respect and love for her.. Jewel has showed us the true meaning of loyalty and friendship and family
Roadrunners
The Road Runners are a group of Shrine Club volunteers who transport children and their parents to and from Shriners Hospitals in Greenville and Cincinnati.The Volunteer Unit drives Children for care at the Shriners Hospital for Children thousands of miles a year and their only reward for making these trips is the smile on the faces and to know that they have helped a child to receive the care needed to live and lead a full and productive life.The Augusta Shrine Club, its different units and club members strive to raise money for this worth cause. It is the clubs main purpose of existence. The children that have been treated and are home are invited annually to a special event at the Shrine Club. To see these children and share a moment with them is very rewarding and heart
Golf Unit
The Golf Unit of the Augusta Shrine Club was organized in 1977 with 5 members. The purpose of the unit was to provide the means of closer fellowship among the many golfing members and their families, to play more golf together and to raise money from golf tournaments put on by the unit to benefit the Children and to have a capable group to put on the golf tournaments at the Temple ceremonials held in the C.S.R.A. The unit quickly became popular with the Temple and C.S.R.A. by participating in Parades and other instances through our uncontrollable antics to the delight of onlookers, which bring joy to the children and golfers. We ride so our children can walk. Our goals as a golf unit are to raise the public's awareness level of the Shrines Hospitals that care for the children. To help support the Augusta Shrine Club, Alee Temple, and the Greenville Shiners Hospital. Participate in parades, community projects, and Shrine functions to have fun and fellowship accomplishing a common goal.
