Pope St. John XXIII Council #5436 (Waterford, MI) donated $200 for the entry fee towards a program that makes the Woodward Dream Cruise accessible to persons with Intellectual and developmental disabilities.

 

Brother Patrick Allsteadt participated in the the 11th Annual “Dreams Come True on Woodward Avenue” program; that is Patrick's Camaro in the pictures. With the KofC logo on his car, he provided two young men, Ben and Ethan, a ride on this famous thoroughfare!
