Knights of Columbus donate $9,514 to Special Olympics Saskatchewan at annual meeting

REGINA — Special Olympics Saskatchewan received a $9,514 donation from the Knights of Columbus during the organization’s annual general meeting on April 19.

The cheque was presented to executive director Rhae-Ann Holoien by Knights of Columbus representative Terry Shalley, continuing a long-standing partnership supporting athletes with intellectual disabilities across the province.

“The Knights of Columbus have been tremendous champions of Special Olympics Saskatchewan for more than five decades,” said Holoien. “Their commitment through fundraising and volunteerism directly benefits our athletes by supporting programs, training and competitions that build confidence, inclusion and community.”

The Knights of Columbus raise funds each year in support of Special Olympics, helping ensure athletes have access to safe and meaningful sport opportunities.

Special Olympics Saskatchewan said the contribution will support ongoing programming and help expand access to sport for children, youth and adults with intellectual disabilities.

Special Olympics Saskatchewan has been serving athletes in the province for more than 50 years, with a focus on improving access, quality and opportunity in sport.
