About the Banquet
The Brotherhood Banquet was started in February, 1965 by William J. Harris (RIASOK Shrine Club) and Thomas R. Clark, Sr. (Knights of Columbus). Every year, members of the Elizabethtown Knights of Columbus and the RIASOK Shrine Club work together to raise money for Kosair for Kids. Since its inception 59 years ago, the Brotherhood Banquet has raised over $850,000 for Kosair for Kids. Children in the Elizabethtown community benefit from this support through both the Kosair for Kids Financial Assistance Program, which provides assistance for families in need of help with their children's medical bills, as well as the Kosair for Kids' Gifts and Grants Program which provides financial support to local non-profits serving children.
Over the years, funds raised from this event have been invested in making life better for the children and families in our local community. Recently, Hardin Memorial Health Foundation received funding for the new NICU through the Kosair for Kids Gifts and Grants Program.
All proceeds go to Kosair for Kids. Between an in-person auction, ticket sales, and a raffle, thousands of dollars are brought into the charity, which helps with various needs such as helping with medical expenses when insurance runs out.
