Council Events and Activities

PANCAKE BREAKFASTS-  This is a traditional event that the Knights put on to help bring together its Community.  Typically, pancakes, sausage, eggs, bacon, juice and coffee are served for an affordable price.  This event is for individuals and family members.

Annual Golf Outing- This event is an exciting and fun event to run or play in.  It is another opportunity to do a fund raiser that brings together members of our Community. 

Tootsie Roll Drive- This is our most important fund raiser each and every year!  Typically, each year in the middle of September, we walk the streets of Bolingbrook and generate revenue from car donors.  For their donations, we give them a roll of Tootsie Rolls that have the Knights of Columbus logo on it.  The revenue generated goes toward the Intellectually Disabled children of our Community.  Amongst other things, we throw a Christmas Party for the children.  (See ID Christmas Party)

ID Christmas Party- Every year The Knights of Columbus throws a Christmas Party for the Children with Disabilities in our Community.  At this event, Santa usually arrives on a Fire Truck and hands out presents to all of the special children.  Breakfast, pictures, presents, music and Santa are all provided to the families from the funds raised by our Tootsie Roll Drive.  (See Tootsie Roll Drive)

Knights of Columbus Soccer Challenge- At the council level in September, the Knights hold a one day tournament that challenges the accuracy of the kicker.  Age groups between the ages of 10-14 are held for both boys and girls.  Each group's winner will receive a trophy and move on to the District Level tournament.  

Knights of Columbus Free Throw Challenge- At the council level in February, the Knights hold a one day tournament that challenges the shooting abilities of the basketball player.  Age groups between the ages of 10-14 are held for both boys and girls.  Each group's winner will receive a trophy and move on to the District Level tournament. 

Family Christmas Party- Each year the Knights of Columbus will hold a party for the immediate and extended members of their families.  This event will have activities and entertainment for the children, food for the entire group and pictures with Santa.  This event is only open to the families of Knights.  This is definitely an event to remember for the family!
