EVENTS & FUNDRAISERS
Fish Fry
The Knights of Columbus hosts an annual Fish Fry for charity, typically held in February at the St. Henry Parish Activity Center. This event is more than just a meal; it's a celebration of faith and fellowship, inviting parishioners and neighbors to come together in the spirit of charitable giving. Proceeds from the event benefit three wonderful causes:
-
St. Vincent de Paul – serving neighbors in need with food and essential assistance

Marie Manning Scholarship – investing in the future of Parish 8th graders interested in attending Catholic High School.
-
Bishop Leibold School – providing quality Catholic education to our youth
Come enjoy a great meal while supporting organizations that strengthen our community.
Dayton Swing for Charity
The Dayton Swing for Charity is an annual September community golf event hosted by the JPII Knights of Columbus Councils, bringing together golfers, businesses, families, and friends from throughout the Dayton area for a day of golf, fellowship, music, dinner, and fun.
The event sells out each year and raises funds to support the Ohio Purple Heart Foundation and other local charitable causes. A special focus is honoring and supporting Ohio’s wounded and disabled veterans and their families.
The Dayton Swing for Charity is a great way to enjoy the day while giving back to our community all year long.
Super Garage Sale
The Super Garage Sale, organized by the Knights of Columbus at St. Henry Catholic Church, is typically held in the summer. This event offers a chance to support local charities in Miamisburg and the surrounding areas. Every donation, purchase, and hour volunteered directly benefits families and organizations in need.

The Knights of Columbus Measure Up Campaign is our flagship effort to raise funds for individuals with developmental disabilities and the Special Olympics.

Baby Bottle Campaign
The Knights of Columbus Baby Bottle Campaign raises vital funds for the Community Pregnancy Center in Middletown and Brigid's Path in Kettering — organizations offering compassionate care, resources, and hope to mothers and newborns in need. By simply filling a baby bottle with spare change, our parishioners become part of something powerful — a community-wide commitment to protecting and nurturing life from its very first moments. Support our Mission and help us Champion the Gift of Life!
Rummage Sale
In June, the Knights of Columbus at Our Lady of Good Hope Church hosts our Annual Rummage Sale; an opportunity for the community to come together to support those in need. Every dollar raised goes directly to local charities providing essential services to our neighbors. Through the generosity of donors and shoppers, this event continues to make a meaningful difference year after year."
