Our District Deputies have committed to 100% of active council participation in the Aid & Support After Pregnancy program (known as ASAP100). If a council has yet to submit an ASAP Grant Application or make an additional donation, this is your opportunity to donate at the State Convention.

Remember, a $500 donation through the ASAP Grant Application process will be eligible for an additional $100 donation from the Supreme Council. Councils can still make donations through the ASAP Grant Application process if donations are less than $500. 

ASAP donations received at the State Convention will be directed to Heart of Christ Clinic, past receipt of the discontinued Supreme “Pass the Hat” State Convention incentive. Matching funds from the State or Supreme Councils will not apply. 

Let's plan to meet the ASAP100 Michigan commitment! Checks should be made out to: Michigan State Council. Memo: ASAP100/Council # and can be dropped off at the State Convention during registration.

Note from our State Deputy Barry Borsenik endorsing this message, The goal is 100! No Excuses.

We have about three weeks to go before the K of C State Convention and our Charity Raffle! If you

are thinking about donating a raffle basket but need some ideas, here are a couple of links to articles

that will help with the brainstorming process!

Think Outside of the Basket - Gray Matters Foundation

170+ Themed Raffle Basket Ideas for Fundraisers

Some things to keep in mind for your raffle donation:

1. Keep the value between $100 and $500

2. Remember that you and whoever wins your basket will be carrying/transporting it to and from

the Grand Hotel. Please be mindful of size and weight of basket and plan accordingly.

3. Do not include non-shelf-stable foods that may spoil.

4. Gift cards and lottery tickets are items that should be copied/printed for the basket itself, with

the actual cards brought separately for safekeeping by the raffle staff.

When you know what you will be bringing for the raffle, here is the link for the donation form:
