ASAP100 - Has your Council applied for ASAP Grants?

As we near the midpoint of this fraternal year, I’d like to share the current status of our Aid and Support After Pregnancy 100 (ASAP100) initiative. To date (October), 42 councils or 10% of active councils across Michigan—representing 34 of our 102 districts—have participated in this vital program. Together, these councils have contributed $84,076 in direct donations. With our Supreme Council matching's contribution of $11,700, our total impact now stands at $95,776 in support of mothers and their children. See attachments for donation details and ASAP100 instructions.

At our Summer Leadership Meeting, we committed ourselves to the goal of 100% council participation in the ASAP program. That commitment was not merely about meeting a number—it was a pledge to uphold Life, one of the fundamental pillars of our Order. Every council, large or small, has the ability to make a difference. Whether your contribution is great or modest, what matters most is that your council has prayerfully considered the call to support life and taken action.

If your council has not yet made a donation, I encourage you to do so soon—and be sure to report it so that your efforts are counted. Let us demonstrate, together, the power of Michigan Knights standing united for mothers, children, and the sanctity of life.

Thank you for your ongoing generosity and faithful witness to our mission.

SOARing for Life .. with Courage!
