Annual tootsie roll drive campaign Saturday

The annual “tootsie roll” drive sponsored by the Msgr. TJ McCann Council of the Knights of Columbus will be at Fareway, Hy-Vee and Wal-Mart on Saturday morning.

KC members will be handing out tootsie rolls for a donation. The donations will go to help fund the Iowa Special Olympics and the Newton Schools Special Education department.

The Knights of Columbus sponsors annual events to help raise money for special events and charities.

The tootsie rolls are free and the donations go for the campaign for people with intellectual disabilities. The Knights of Columbus has a long-standing relationship with the Special Olympics and helping those with disabilities find new opportunities.

The KC’s thanks the community for supporting these important programs and the next special event is the Par 3 Golf Tournament at Westwood on September 26.

For further information, or to make a donation, contact Cody Muhs at gk@newtoniowakofc.org or call McCann Center at (641) 792-2050 to leave a message.
