Knights of Columbus Support Local Special Olympics with Generous Donations from Annual Fundraiser

The men of the Knights of Columbus Francis Cardinal Spellman Council #6107, affiliated with Guardian Angels Roman Catholic Church and with St. Mary Ukrainian Catholic Church in Colchester, recently made monetary donations to support two local Special Olympics programs.

The Knights donated checks for $800 each made out to the Colchester Special Olympics and to The Willi Wellness Special Olympics programs.

The funds were entirely from the generous contributions made by area residents during the annual K of C Tootsie Roll Drive undertaken during the 2023-2024 fraternal year.

Council 6107 is grateful to our community for their continued support for this special program.
