Masonic lodge donates $2,500 to Mississippi Heroes Ramp It Up project Polar Star Lodge 154 Free and Accepted Masons partners with organization to fund wheelchair ramp for veteran, senior, or person with disability BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) — Polar Star Lodge 154 Free and Accepted Masons has partnered with Mississippi Heroes and donated $2,500 to the organization’s Ramp It Up project, which provides wheelchair ramps to veterans, seniors, and individuals with disabilities across the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The average ramp costs approximately $2,500, meaning the donation will fund a single ramp for a person in need. Mississippi Heroes founder Katherine Sutton said the partnership reflects what the community can do for one another. “This is a symbolism of community at its finest when we can partner with organizations in the community to help serve those that are stuck in their homes and don’t have access in and out safely,” Sutton said. “So it’s a great partnership, a great opportunity, and we’re very thankful.” Corry Cooley, chairman of the Charitable Donation Committee, said the decision to contribute came quickly after learning about the organization. “As soon as I met Katherine and I found out about Mississippi Heroes, I absolutely couldn’t wait to help in any form of fashion,” Cooley said. “So I found a way to financially help, and we’re just glad to be a part of the assistance of getting these ramps done.” Mississippi Heroes has built more than 80 ramps for community members since the organization was established in 2020.
