St. John Neumann Knights of Columbus Council 7115 in Holland volunteered on November 7 as the Michigan Veteran Homes at Grand Rapids hosted The Veterans Day 5 Remembrance event.

 

The event featured a 0.5-mile walk, a 5K run and a 5-mile run, beginning at the veterans facility and running through Riverside Park.

 

Council members presented $500 to volunteer coordinator Gretchen Muir to help fund social programs for the veterans. The Knights also staffed a water station along the course for the approximately 250 participants. The event raised more than $3,000 for the Veterans Home.
