God's Special Children Golf Classic
Every April, our council hold the
God's Special Children Golf Classic.
This event grew
out of the foresight of several Brother Knights a few years ago. Each year,
Knights of Columbus Councils are challenged with a goal of monetary donations to
local charities. Of these, the O’Fallon Council actively participates in weekly
Bingos, Tootsie Roll drives, and Turkey Trot runs, to name a few. In order to
strengthen the commitments to it’s benefactors, a golf tournament was identified
as the additional source of revenue. Throughout its four-year history, this
event has proven to be not only a fun-filled day of activities, but also a big
fund-raiser to support local charitable groups in the area.
We are extremely
pleased to announce that last year’s event raised over $13,000 to benefit three
local charities:
Area 12 Special Olympics, the Illinois Center for Autism and S.A.V.E.
Our 7th Annual Classic will be held on April 28th, 2006.
