Welcome to our Team Page!

The Order of the Eastern Star strives to take good people and through uplifting and elevating associations of love and service, build a Chapter which is truly dedicated to charity, truth and loving kindness. That’s why We, the members of Lugoff-Elgin Chapter #298, believe that no child or adult should live in constant fear of needing another brain surgery.  Please help us make a difference in all persons who are afflicted with hydrocephalus.

Please join our team and WALK with us to end hydrocephalus. This event is very dear to our hearts as we are walking on behalf of those who are living with hydrocephalus.  As you may know, hydrocephalus is a life-altering, life-threatening condition, caused by an abnormal accumulation of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), resulting in pressure on the brain. The most common treatment for this condition is brain surgery to implant a medical device called a shunt. Sadly, a shunt is not a cure, as device failures are very common and lead to multiple brain surgeries over a patient’s lifetime, in some cases 100 or more. This is unacceptable and this is WHY WE WALK. 

Join our team in person, join virtually and donate to help us reach our goal. Your donation is greatly appreciated and will go far in helping us find a cure and improve the lives of people living with hydrocephalus.
