About Us

At Parker Elks Lodge #2873, membership is not a formality. It is a handshake that connects you to thousands of hours of community work, a hall full of familiar faces, and a national fraternal tradition that has been running since 1868. Lodge #2873 sits on Pikes Peak Avenue at the foot of the Front Range, where the Parker community has grown fast but held onto its small-town character, and the Elks have grown right alongside it.

The lodge runs on the four cardinal principles of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks: Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity. Those are not just words on a wall here. Members organize veterans' support programs, scholarship drives for local students, and holiday food and toy collections that reach families across Parker, CO 80138 and the surrounding Douglas County area.

Walk through the door and you will find a place that takes its mission seriously without taking itself too seriously. There are events on the calendar, committees that need hands, and a lodge room where real decisions get made by real people. If you are looking for a place to give back and belong, this is where that starts.

What We Offer

Lodge #2873 offers its members a full calendar of fraternal activities, civic programs, and social events throughout the year. On the charitable side, the lodge runs scholarship programs for graduating high school seniors, coordinates with local veterans' organizations, and participates in national Elks initiatives like the Elks National Foundation grants that fund community projects across Colorado.

Beyond the mission work, the lodge provides members with a genuine social home. Regular meetings, holiday gatherings, and lodge-sponsored events give members consistent opportunities to connect. The lodge also supports youth programs including Elks Hoop Shoot free throw competitions and the Drug Awareness program that reaches Parker-area schools.

Membership in Lodge #2873 also connects you to the broader network of over 2,000 Elks lodges nationwide, meaning your membership travels with you. Whether you are interested in leading a committee, volunteering at an event, or simply showing up and being part of something bigger than your daily routine, there is a role here that fits.

Join the Elks
A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
