St. Irene Intellectual Disabilities Fund Drive

People with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) have limitations in intellectual functions like communicating, taking care of themselves, and impaired social skills. Depending on the level of impairment, many with ID live in special facilities and group homes. Although they are state-supported, funding is limited. Annually, the Knights of Columbus conduct a fund drive to help support organizations that offer service to people with ID.

This St. Irene Knights of Columbus in Warrenville, Illinois ID Fund drive will be conducted September through October, 2023. Half the money raised will be donated to the Cupertino Group Home in Warrenville (a Clare Woods Academy operated facility, Carol Stream). The remaining half will be split between Western DuPage Special Recreation Association , Special Camps for Special People of Winfield , and Illinois Knights of Columbus Charities. All 100% of the funds we receive from this GoFundMe drive support these organizations.

The St. Irene Knights of Columbus has conducted this fund drive every year since its founding in 1975. Knights will again conduct a street solicitation this year in the Warrenville area from Sept. 15-17. We urge you to also support this effort by donating generously. Except for the candy cost, 100% of the money raised is donated to the designated organizations.
