Our Knights of Columbus Parish Council MI State (Tootsie Roll) Drive collected $5,750 for persons with intellectual disabilities. This was recognized by the State Council of Michigan for being #1 in the Diocese for dollars collected per Knight.
After 20% of the funds are distributed by the State Council of Michigan on the state level we have $4,600 that will be distributed to local charities that serve Berrien County.
The charities we are supporting with our drive are: Therapeutic Equestrian Center, We Can Ride 4-H, Best Friends 4-H, Special Olympics SW Michigan and the Autism Learning Center. Thank you everyone for your donations!
On August 16th, we will be presenting these organizations with funds from the proceeds of our drive. This will be happening at the Community Pint Night at the Livery in Benton Harbor. Stop by between 5 pm and 8 pm to find out more about the Knights of Columbus and these Berrien County organizations that support our community.
Join the Knight of Columbus for their Donut and Bagel Breakfast after all Morning Masses in the LMC MS/HS Cafeteria on August 19th.
