Council’s Benefit 

To date, through your efforts, we have collectively raised over $40,000.00 for local councils, through the sale of State Charity Raffle tickets.  Remember, $1.00 of every ticket you sell goes directly to your Local Knights of Columbus Council.  (One sold book equals a $12.00 donation to your Council on your behalf)

A little Trivia

Did you know the bar code on the bottom of your ticket stubs are unique to you.  The bar code contains your Council number and membership number.   This allows us the ability to track ticket sales by member and Council. 

A sincere thank you to everyone for your participation and strong support of our Michigan Knights of Columbus Charity Raffle. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,

Mike Haughey & Kevin Rowley
