Bobbie Fairfax Free Throw Contest

On Thursday, March 5, worthy brothers GK Bob Stucker, John Mullan, Al Stevenson, and Jonathan Ring assisted at the annual Bobbie Fairfax Free Throw Contest.

Bobbie Fairfax is a school for individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. The Free Throw Contest was originally sponsored by Bishop Fenwick Council back in the late 1980’s. After a hiatus, the event resurfaced about four years ago. Four councils currently participate in funding and manning the event: St Michael, Abp. Elder, Bishop Fenwick, and St. John. Funding includes t-shirts, medals, plaques, and apple sauce for the participants.

It was a lot of fun for all involved.

“Where faith and freedom have been threatened, the Knights have been there to help. Ahead of its time on racial and religious-freedom issues — not to mention a global force for charity — the Knights of Columbus is an organization that Americans who value our country’s freedoms should get to know. The Knights of Columbus: An Illustrated History is the perfect introduction.”
