Campaign for People with Intellectual Disabilities

Often referred to simply as the “Tootsie Roll Drive”, this is a statewide Knights of Columbus program. You may have noticed council members in yellow vests distributing Tootsie Rolls to donors who help fill the cans at King Soopers or at St Joan of Arc.

Objectives

Support those with intellectual, mental or social challenges, and their families.

Funding

Solicited donations

Funds dispersal

Net proceeds after the purchase of Tootsie Rolls go solely to the beneficiaries. Roughly 25% goes to the general KofC state program with the remaining 75% going to 4 or 5 organizations that the council designates for distribution by the state council.
