The New Grand Master's Club Crusader's Cross Levels and Jewels

The Knights Templar Eye Foundation, Inc. has a number of donation programs, most with associated recognition programs. One of our contribution programs that has grown in popularity is the Grand Master’s Club which issues a Crusader’s Cross as a thank you which also represents the number of Grand Master’s Clubs a person has. Grand Master’s Clubs are contributions of $1,000 which can be accumulated over time. These accumulations are known as the Grand Commander’s Club ($100 each until $1,000 is reached). Currently, Grand Master’s Club donors receive a plaque, lapel pin, and a Crusaders Cross up to the first five Grand Masters Clubs. However, many of our members have asked the foundation to make a change to the Jewel.

Because of these requests, the Jewel now includes five tiers with five levels within each tier, each tier has a different colored center but still has quadrants representing the different levels. Remember this jewel is a thank you for the donation to the Grand Master’s Club (GMC). Each GMC represents a contribution of $1,000.

The tiers represented with the quadrants can best be seen by the full picture showing all GMC’s.

Tier 1
1 - 5 GMC’s

Tier 2
6 - 10 GMC’s

Tier 3
11 - 15 GCM’s

Tier 4
16 - 20 GMC’s

Tier 5
21 - 25 GMC’s

As part of this enhanced program we are also recognizing past donors, their jewels have been mailed out recently.
