Father Perez Knights of Columbus Council #1444 members, friends, and supporters will kick off the 2024 Intellectual Disabilities Drive, otherwise known as the Tootsie Roll Drive, on Friday, September 20 and Saturday, September 21.

Proceeds from the annual drive are distributed to support religious and secular organizations, like parish Special Religious Education (SPRED) programs or special recreation programs. These programs address quality of life issues for our neighbors with intellectual disabilities and help them participate in events like Special Olympics and local parish SPRED programs.

For many years our council has led the Knights of Columbus across the State of Illinois in fundraising - thanks to your support. The funds collected stay within our community. We plea for your continued support.

Please volunteer or donate at signupgenius.com/go/70A0C44ABAA2FA3FE3-50531009-2024#/, or by calling Brian Larkin at 773-343-9841 or Bill Donnelly at 773-914-2635.

Be generous when you are solicited and tempted with a Tootsie Roll.
