Knights of Columbus
Knights of Columbus Notre Dame Council 10514 in Flagler Beach, Mother Seton Council 17480 in Palm Coast, and St. Mary’s Council 11961 in Bunnell held the Annual Knights of Columbus Free Throw Championship on Feb. 13, 2021 at the Carver Community Center in Bunnell, Florida. Local youth from ages 9 to 14 years old participated in the event. Eli Emanual, Carver Facilities Director, and Knights of Columbus volunteers were on hand to welcome and register the participants. At the conclusion of the contest hot dogs and chips were served to both the youth participants and the parents that were present to support them.
The winner from each age category has the opportunity to compete in the Regional Knights of Columbus Basketball Championship in Middleburg, Florida.
