Of the $143 million raised and donated in 2006, $109 million was raised locally and donated directly to charities chosen by K of C units raising the funds; the remaining $34 million was given by the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council and its designated charities from its headquarters in New Haven, Conn. By way of comparison, 25 years ago, the Knights reported raising and donating to charity $52 million and volunteering 13.4 million hours of service.

 None of our programs have been more successful than our efforts to help people with intellectual and physical disabilities. Knights of Columbus were among the volunteers at the first Special Olympics games in Chicago in 1968. Since that time, we have been at the forefront in assisting brother Knight Sargent Shriver and Eunice Kennedy Shriver build Special Olympics into a great worldwide initiative.

Since 1980, we have provided more than $48 million to Special Olympics. During the same period, the Knights of Columbus at all levels has provided more than $375 million to help those with physical and mental disabilities.
