The Knights of Columbus Council 6173 presented checks to Camp Sun ‘N Fun and the Cherry Hill Food Pantry at its annual award meeting on Tuesday, June 25. Camp Sun ‘N Fun received a check for $2,125, and the Cherry Hill Food Pantry got one for $1,400. Funds for both were raised by two of the council’s annual fundraisers.
Jaime Jezek, recreation director at Camp Sun ‘N Fun, accepted a check from Grand Knight David Galloway in the amount of $2,125.
“I really feel that in this day and age it is not the norm to see the level of dedication and commitment the Knights of Council 6173 have had to our camp,” Jezek said. “They support us each year without fail and believe strongly that what we do is an important service to the community.”
“Camp Sun N’ Fun provides a very needed service to those with serious disabilities and our council is happy to conduct our annual fundraiser for them,” Galloway said.
Cherry Hill Food Pantry Executive Director Janet Giordano accepted a check for $1,400 from Chancellor Kevin Brake.
“I felt that our fundraising for the Cherry Hill Food Pantry went very well,” Brake said. “The goal was to raise a $1,000 through our bowling event, while at the same time allowing our brothers to get a chance to meet one another and their families.
“The goal is to raise more next year with the same event,” he added. “I hope to sell 30 lanes next year and raise $2,000.”
“I hope the funds will help with the renovation of the new food pantry or pay any bills they need covered as they had lost their previous rent free location,” Brake said.
