Elks Care

The Jackson Elks Lodge 1713 Scholarship is generously supported through the Lodge’s Wednesday Night Community Bingo events.

Lodge members, along with its guests, gather at the Lodge every Wednesday night throughout the winter months to play bingo game after bingo game. It’s a fun and community-focused way for our Lodge to raise money for its scholarship offerings. 100% of the Lodge’s net Bingo proceeds are restricted to funding scholarships in Teton County, WY.
