Our Mission
All About the Widows Sons
The Widows Sons Masonic Riders Association is an International Association which is open to all Masons who enjoy the sport of motorcycling and have a desire to ride with and associate with their fraternal brothers. Our goal is to:
Introduce the sport of motorcycling to our Masonic Brothers
Raise Masonic Awareness in the world of sport motorcycling
Contribute to the relief of our Widows & Orphans
Support the Blue Lodge through regular attendance, and assisting with or attending lodge events.
While we wear identifying patches or regalia, the Widows Sons are not a gang, MC, 1% Club. We are required to represent the fraternity in a positive light at all times. The Widows Sons serve as a Masonic Booster Club by helping to raise Masonic Awareness while we attend public motorcycling events, and by supporting our Blue Lodges in whatever capacity we are able. Widows Sons chapters have helped to increase Masonic membership through our presence and visibility during public motorcycle events and rally's.
In every location where we have a chapter, the Widows Sons have proven themselves to be a positive asset to the fraternity. Many chapters are proud to have current and past Grand Masters as members. We regularly attract new members to the fraternity, and several chapters have their own Degree Teams or volunteer in doing Masonic work whenever possible. Each Widows Sons chapter sponsors or participates in local charity runs or events. In all cases, we strive to present a positive image of Freemasonry and our Association to the public.
The Widows Sons was conceived of and founded by Brother Carl Davenport PM, in the year 2000. Today we have active chapters throughout many States in the USA, Canada, and abroad. If you are interested in joining the Widows Sons, we would be happy to hear from you.

Our History
The Grand Chapter of Washington was founded in August of 2008 in Vancouver, Washington by brothers from the following Lodges:
Washington #4
Mt Hood #32
Ridgefield Daylight #237
North Bank #182
We came together out of a desire to enjoy the open road on our motorcycles and identify ourselves as Freemasons.
We pledge that as members of the Widows Sons Motorcycle Association, we above all others, shall set a good example and never bring dishonor to the Widows Sons Motorcycle Association, Freemasonry, or ourselves.
We pledge that we will support our brethren in the Widows Sons regardless of race, creed, color, or national origin, and will never knowingly bring reproach upon a fellow brother of the Widows Sons Motorcycle Association.
We pledge to combat any forces, which would seek to undermine or bring reproach upon the Widows Sons Motorcycle Organization or its members, and we shall always strive to bring respect and dignity to the Widows Sons Motorcycle Association.
