St. Mary’s of Holliston Knights of Columbus Council 14224 continued its annual charity fundraising efforts this year with their 17th Annual Charity Raffle and 4th Annual Swing for Charity Golf Tournament, raising $30,000 for charity! Both events had their exciting conclusions at their golf tournament on June 20th at the Pinecrest Golf Course. They followed this with a presentation of their major donations at Celebrate Holliston on September 20th .
They invited the recipients on stage at Celebrate Holliston where they presented their donation checks to five of their very grateful charitable organizations. This year, there were two large checks for $8,000 each to the MetroWest Veterans Emergency Relief Fund and the Holliston Pantry Shelf, $6,000 for the Senior
Support Foundation (Senior Center), $2,000 to the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism, and $1,500 to The O’Connell House. The representatives of these organizations expressed their gratitude for the funds and vowed to continue their mission to assist others to have a better life.
The Council has now raised just over $390,000 in just seventeen years. That’s a considerable amount, but the Council is determined to continue their efforts to raise funds to help groups like these make the world a little better.
