The Knight Family formed the Ray and Mary Knight Foundation with the intent to honor their parents, and to raise money to benefit various needs throughout the community. It is a sell-out event that has raised thousands of dollars. In 2019, the foundation donated $60,000 to help homeless students in Washtenaw County. The funds were provided to the Washtenaw Intermediate School District’s Education
Project for Homeless Youth. The project helps homeless students enroll, attend and succeed in school. It serves students up to 21 years old, including those living in shelters, motels, cars and abandoned houses, as well as those living doubled-up temporarily with friends or family. After a two-year hiatus due to Covid, we are hoping to regain
momentum. This year we are expanding our fundraising efforts with The KnightFest on August 4th, 2022. There will be dinner, dancing and cocktails. This will be the ultimate “Knight” event. We are proud to announce the recipient of the 2022 Ray & Mary Knight Foundation donation is Garrett’s Space. With the loss of their beloved Bob Knight in 2021, the family is committed to highlighting mental health issues and su***de prevention. We will continue on with our annual golf outing, scheduled for September 26th, 2022. Knight’s Restaurants and Markets want to thank their extended family of loyal customers, employees and suppliers who are key to the success of our fundraising activities. All of you bring extraordinary commitment and generosity.
