District Deputies 2024-2025

The North Carolina State Elks Association (NCSEA) is a charitable organization who strive to make our North Carolina communities a better place to live. Our lodges bring so much more to their communities than  just a building, golf course or pool. They are places where neighbors come together, families share meals, and children grow up.

Elks invest in their communities through programs that help children grow up healthy and drug-free, by undertaking projects that address unmet need, and by honoring the service and sacrifice of our veterans.

The NCSEA feel the need to support two state major projects. One being the North Carolina State Veterans Homes. The  veterans homes had a need for handicap accessible vans for transportation and we have provided each NC veteran home a van for that purpose. We have also put a television in every room at each of veteran homes in NC. Camp Carefree is the second project we have. Camp Carefree is a camp for chronically ill and disabled children and well siblings of children with chronic illnesses. Through our fundraising and events like our annual motorcycle ride, we have donated more than $150,000 to help support the camp.

Drug Awareness Program From a young age, the Drug Awareness Program asks kids to think about what it means to be drug free. Through the program’s annual essay and poster contest s, kids can express their feelings on rejecting peer pressure. At events, including Red Ribbon Week ceremonies, Elks and their friends serve as role models who show kids that living drug free is the way to be.
