In addition to giving volunteer efforts at various events each year, the Knights of Columbus also raise raise funds to support the program. At our recent Chili & Dessert Cook-off event, two checks were presented to individuals representing the organization.

Members of our council often volunteer to assist with Special Olympic activities in our area. We also provide financial support. At one of our recent meetings, a Special Olympics athlete and his mother were on hand to accept a check on behalf of Southern Illinois Region 12 in the amount of $2,489.03 from the council. Presenting the check to them were Jim Albarado and Deputy Grand Knight Troy Lively as shown in the picture below.
