Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie #244 at 3848 Centre St in Hillcrest has operated as a California-incorporated fraternal organization since 1917, making it one of San Diego's oldest chartered service lodges. The aerie directs all fundraising proceeds to eight national charitable funds covering kidney disease, heart health, diabetes research, cancer treatment, and spinal cord injury, channeling the same community-focused energy seen in civic events organized by AIDS Walk & Run San Diego. Members represent a broad cross section of the San Diego community and gather at the Centre Street hall for social events, meetings, and charitable planning. Collaboration with organizations like Sister League of San Diego extends the aerie's local reach beyond its eight national fund drives. An events hall available for public and member rental hosts community gatherings, private celebrations, and charitable benefit nights supporting the national F.O.E. Golden Eagle Fund and Memorial Foundation.
