The Jackson area Knights of Columbus Councils have donated nearly $15,000 to defeat Proposal 3 on the November ballot.

Of particular note, Council # 9131 St Joseph Oratory held a benefit dinner and draw down raffle for Jackson Right to Life that raised $11,000.

This is what Jackson Right to Life posted on their Facebook Page - “THANK YOU KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS #9131!

The benefit dinner and draw down raffle was so much fun and raised $11,000 which we donated to the efforts to defeat Proposal 3!  Jerry & Dee Schell, and their amazing team of volunteers were instrumental and worked hard to make this happen.  God's people are so good to Jackson Right to Life!”

Other Jackson Councils donations to fight Proposal 3:
