The 22nd annual Campaign for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities is underway, and the Pella Knights of Columbus are reaching out to the community to support organizations helping those individuals with special needs.
Joe Lickteig with the Knights of Columbus says members of their fraternal organization and local student athletes from Pella and Pella Christian are collecting donations at the Pella Hy-Vee, Fareway, and Walmart every weekday evening and most of the day on Saturday through August 29th.
Lickteig says an expanded telethon phone drive event will be held at the Pella Opera House on Tuesday afternoon and evening, with the KNIA/KRLS Lil’ Big Red Radio at the event with interviews of the various groups supporting or supported by the annual Campaign for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities.
