he Wisconsin State Council Knights of Columbus Annual Charity Raffle is under way. Proceeds from this raffle are used for the charitable efforts of Knights both statewide and locally, providing grants for fire, medical, and other financial hardship relief. Last year over $250,000 in relief was provided by the State and Local Knights of Columbus councils. Locally, Knights from Council #605, which has served the greater Beloit and Clinton area since 1901, used a portion of the proceeds to purchase forty needed new warm winter coats for children. First prize is $50,000 or a 2023 Ford F150 XLT Supercab. Second prize is a 2023 Harley Davidson or $25,000. There are also 98 additional cash prizes of $500. Tickets are only $5.00 each and are on sale now through April 22nd. Tickets are available from any Knights of Columbus member. Tickets are also available at Senz Insurance, 630 E. Grand Ave., ABC Fire & Safety, Inc., 2581 Park Ave., or by contacting Tim Taylor at 608-290-4236 or kc605beloit@yahoo.com. The need is even greater than ever, and the Knights appreciate your support.
