Wichita Scottish Rite Campaign

The Wichita Scottish Rite has embarked on raising $5 million for a campaign with two main components:  preserving the Wichita Scottish Rite Center well into the future, and maintaining the RiteCare Childhood Language Program.

Component One: Preserving the Wichita Scottish Rite Center
The Wichita Scottish Rite Center at 332 East First in Wichita, Kansas is an impressive four-story, all-stone structure built in 1887 as the Young Men’s Christian Association. There will be challenges both inside and outside the building as we work to restore its integrity.

Component Two:  Support of the RiteCare Clinic
The Wichita Scottish Rite’s main philanthropy is to support Wichita State University’s Speech-Hearing and Language RiteCare Clinic and will continue to do so.  

Speech-language disorders affect approximately six million children in the United States. Often, these children have at least average or even superior intelligence. What they lack is the ability to exercise this intelligence through normal speech and language channels. Today, at RiteCare clinics, centers and programs across the country, many children with communication disorders are being helped to hear, to speak and to understand.  Children, who might have remained educationally handicapped for a lifetime can now talk, read and lead useful lives.
