Father Michael McGivney formed the Knights of Columbus organization on March 29, 1882. Over 100 years later, KC’s mission has remained the same: to support underprivileged children throughout the world. We extend our deepest gratitude to the business leaders who have continuously supported our endeavors, without whom our purpose would not be obtainable. We are happy to announce that this year’s tournament proceeds will be donated to the Special Olympics Missouri and LifeHouse Crisis Maternity Home.

Special Olympics Missouri is a sports organization with the goal of helping athletes with intellectual disabilities find joy in sports. They provide year-round sports training and athletic competitions to help athletes develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, and share their gifts and skills with the communities

LifeHouse Crisis Maternity Home in Cape Girardeau opened to residents May 2024. Thanks to the generosity of donors, a beautiful new building on the banks of the Mississippi will become a haven to homeless, pregnant mothers, enabling them to build a life for their children surrounded by love, support, and encouragement.
