Tootsie Roll Drive

Each year, members of the Knights of Columbus St. Peter Damian Council 8699 don their famous yellow vests and help raise money to support people in our community who have Mental Retardation and Learning Disabilities (MR/LD).

In 2007, the Council raised more than $4,000, which was donated to the Claire Woods Academy in Bartlett and to Special Olympics, a project supported by the Bartlett Police Department.

St. Peter Damian Council 8699 will conduct its 2008 Mental Retardation and Learning Disabilities (MR/LD) Fund Drive, (also know as the annual Tootsie Roll Drive) on September 19-21, 2008.  Council members will be manning various locations throughout Bartlett and Hanover Park during the day on Friday and Saturday.  On Saturday evening and on Sunday morning, Council members will be present after all the masses.  Your generous donations will enable the Council to provide funds to support the needs of the Claire Woods Academy and the Special Olympics, a project sponsored by the Bartlett Police Department.
