More on the Enchanted Lanterns: In the early days of the Grotto, members would hang a red railroad lantern in the window to indicate the location of their next meeting. This history of the lantern was not forgotten when, in 1953, the Grottoes adopted the “Enchanted Lantern” as their emblem to represent each contribution of $50 or more. The annual sale of Enchanted Lanterns to Grotto members has become the backbone of the Humanitarian Foundation’s fundraising efforts for nearly 60 years. Donations support the Dental Program through the Endowment Program.

More on the Humanitarian Foundation: The Humanitarian Foundation is the Official Charity of the Daughters of Mokanna. The Humanitarian Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization that brings “Special Smiles” to children with special needs by providing them much-needed dental care.
