Garland County Annual
Knight of Columbus Chairity Golf Tournament
Knight of Columbus Chairity Golf Tournament
On Saturday, May 18, 2019, the Garland County Knights of Columbus Golf Tournament will return to Hot Springs Village, AR. The last time it was held Hot Springs Village was at the Balboa Golf Course in 2016. This will be the 12th Charity Tournament. We are so excited to have it in Hot Springs Village at the Beautiful Magellan Golf Course. This will be a landmark year for the Knights of Columbus as it will put it over 100,000.00 that has been raised for tuition for many students unable to afford the tuition at little or no costs to their families, allowing them to attend the St. John's Catholic School PreK3 through 8th Grade.
This is an all-volunteer event with no one being paid any salaries. All Monies raised go to the Charity. The Knights of Columbus have been the hosts of this event since it started 12 years ago at three different venues since its inception; The Belvedere, Lake Degray and Hot Springs Village.

The Patrick J. Sullivan Council 10208 and the Fr. Victor A. Bieberle Assembly 2316 of Hot Springs Village, AR join together quarterly to prepare and serve dinners for up to 50 homeless veterans during each visit. Knights also host bi-monthly socials with lots of good finger-food eats and treats for these deserving men, women, and sometimes their children.
For over five years quarterly meals have been provided--often for Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or other holidays such as this event. The Knights gratefully acknowledge the appreciation expressed by the veterans and staff at St. Francis House. The Knights deepest and heartfelt joy comes from the opportunity to show their thanks for the service and sacrifice of these patriots, in a tangible way, by giving a little back to them in their need.
