What Is the Tootsie Roll Drive?
The Knights of Columbus Council #664 in Fond du Lac is proud to host the annual Tootsie Roll Drive, officially known as the Campaign for People with Intellectual Disabilities. This cherished tradition exemplifies our commitment to supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental challenges within our community.
Each year, our dedicated members don bright yellow vests emblazoned with "Helping People with Intellectual Disabilities" and position themselves at various locations throughout Fond du Lac. In exchange for a donation, we offer donors a Tootsie Roll as a token of our appreciation. This initiative not only raises essential funds but also fosters awareness and inclusivity for those with special needs.
