If you caught the June 25th issue of Times Herald, you might have seen the article covering board member Mike Marsh receiving the fundraiser check from the Knights of Columbus. Thanks to the paper for featuring us!

After weeks of hard work raising funds for The Arc, local Knights of Columbus chapters have gathered all monies raised, and doled them out this week. A big thank you goes out again to all the Knights who helped support The Arc!!

On Tuesday, Mike Marsh, President of Marc Children’s Services, received The Arc’s check from the Knights of Columbus’ Pope John Paul I Council (#7565) at the Visitation Church. Here’s a shot from the event:

The Knights of Columbus fundraising campaign wraps up this week at Redner’s Warehouse Market in Collegeville. (Map.) Knights will be stationed there from Wednesday, May 13 through Saturday, May 16.

This year’s campaign has been successful. Tom Kuchera, the Grand Knight from the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in Doylestown, reports that his council has raised $2,768.60 so far. The council’s goal for this year was $2,009. Way to go Tom and OLMC! And THANK YOU to all who’ve contributed!

Tom also shared some pics from the field. Check them on our Flickr page.

The Knights of Columbus is kicking off its annual “Measure Up” campaign today to collect donations from the public to support The Arc. Knights will be stationed at local stores to collect donations, which will fund advocacy, educational services, and other programs for the developmentally disabled and their families.

Everyone is welcome to come out and show their support! Feel free to bring a camera and take pictures and video. We’ll post them here on the blog! Just let me know what you have to share by shooting me an e-mail.

Below is the schedule for this year’s Measure Up campaigns for local Knights of Columbus councils. Some times are still TBD. We’ll keep you updated on the blog.
