Founders Day Weekend 2026

The countdown to Founders Day Weekend has begun! Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 24th, as we come together to celebrate with fun and fellowship.

We invite all members to join us in several exciting activities, including setting up the Haunted House, packing candy for reverse Trick or Treating, distributing candy, and presenting watches to the senior class at the House of God.

To help us cover the costs of candy and watches, we are seeking cash donations from lodges, chapters, Moose legions, and Districts. Please send your contributions to Sean Smith, MMA Secretary, and kindly earmark them as “Reverse Trick or Treat” or “Senior Watch”

We will be staying at

Hampton Inn & Suites Chicago/Aurora
2423 Buschwood Drive
Aurora, IL. 60506      630-907-2600
Between Oct. 22nd  through Oct. 25th

 IF this is your first visit to Mooseheart, please let us know and wear a nice outfit to the Saturday morning ceremony (No jeans and t-shirt) as we would like to invite you to present a watch to a Mooseheart senior class student.

We will also have a sign up sheet for the candy packing, reverse trick or treating, and watch presenters.  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0D45AFAA2CA5FE3-62305891-founders
