About the Cause
About the Cause
The Cryptic Masons Medical Research Foundation has invested over $3 million in adult stem cell research at Indiana University School of Medicine — funding clinical trials that use a patient’s own bone marrow cells to prevent amputations and restore circulation to damaged limbs. This gala is how that work continues.

Real Science. Real Impact.
The surgery that changed everything happened because of donors like you.
For patients with peripheral arterial disease, the prognosis is often a slow loss — of circulation, of mobility, and eventually of the limb itself. The MOBILE Trial, funded by the CMMRF at Indiana University School of Medicine, changed that calculus. Using a patient’s own bone marrow stem cells to rebuild vascular pathways, researchers conducted the first U.S. clinical trial of its kind — and the results have kept patients walking, working, and living on their own terms.

Be Inspired
Beginning at 8:00 PM, hear from distinguished speakers whose work sits at the intersection of science, medicine, and hope. Then stay for live entertainment and dancing as the evening concludes under the garden’s night sky.

A Brotherhood with a Purpose
The Cryptic Masons — one of the oldest fraternal orders in America — established the CMMRF in 1994 with a single belief: that organized giving, sustained over decades, could fund the research that commercial interests overlook. The Grand York Rite of Missouri carries that tradition forward each year through events like this one. No agenda. No politics. Just a group of people who decided a long time ago that this work mattered.
