‘Knight at the Races’ – May 10, 2014

April 25--May 10, 2014

The Purpose

From the moment of its national founding in 1882, charity has been the first principle of the Knights of Columbus, whose members are men of faith and men of action. Nationally, in 2012, in addition to raising and donating more than $167.5 million to charitable needs and projects, Knights volunteered more than 70-million hours of their time to charitable causes. "Knight at the Races" will raise funds to help support local, state and national initiatives and charities.
