Tootsie Rolls and the Knights of Columbus

Council 4511 of the Knights of Columbus have helped children and adults with mental and physical disabilities. In the spring of each year, a weekend is dedicated to raising needed funds through the Tootsie Roll donation project. You have probably seen Knights at the major intersections in Warsaw with our bright yellow vests. In exchange for a donation, we offer a K of C Tootsie Roll. The funds that are raised stay in Kosciusko County and are distributed to Cardinal Center and Special Olympics.
Last year over $20,000 was donated, and over 15,000 Tootsie Rolls were given away. The past support of the community has been overwhelming for Cardinal Services and Special Olympics.
This year Tootsie Roll weekend will be May 5th and 6th 2017..
