ORLANDO, Fla. - Only about 1 percent of the profits from Shrine circuses in 1984 went to care for injured children, despite circus promotions loaded with references to charitable work, a newspaper reported today. Shriners, who run the riches charity in the nation, kept for themselves about two-thirds of the money they raised through all their fund-raising activities, according to a six-month investigation by The Orlando Sentinel.
