As a father, you worry about your children and do many things to protect them. We try to raise them right and make sure they are prepared to become adults. But have you ever thought about buying life insurance on your child?
When you insure a child, you are protecting his or her future. Did you know that one out of every six adults get rated, postponed, or denied for insurance coverage? If you purchase a policy for your child from the Knights of Columbus, it guarantees that more insurance can be purchased for that child without proving insurability.
Unfortunately, as fathers we don’t have a crystal ball to tell us the future of our children. Your child could eventually have a rare disease, cancer, or be overweight. Did you know you can purchase a child’s policy, in many cases, for less than $10 a month?
I’ve heard it said that people don’t want to “profit” from the death of a child, so they won’t purchase coverage on their children. God forbid something tragic happens, those funds can come in handy at a time when finances will be the last thing on a parent’s mind. I have never heard a story about someone who regretting buying coverage on a child.
Contact me today to discuss the many policy options for child plans, including 10- and 20-Pay life insurance, as well as your other insurance needs.
Fraternally, Your Brother and Field Agent,

Our Knight of the Month for April is Kevin Simpson. He was our Membership Director and an active member of our council. He attended most of our meetings and helped out at most of our functions. Kevin passed away on April 5th as the result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident while he was on the way to the exemplification of the 4th Degree. Per our worthy master and current faithful navigator of the Fourth Degree, Kevin Simpson will be treated as a Sir Knight in the Fourth Degree.
Last month’s annual Garage Sale for Charity was another great success. Special thanks goes out to Steve Mills for co-chairing the sale, to Dave Carboni for providing the hot dogs, soda, and chips for the sale, and to everyone who helped set up, work the sale, clean up, and take the leftovers to St. Vincent de Paul. Proceeds from the sale will allow the Council to donate $500 to Clara’s House Free Clinic and $300 to the St. Mary’s Bereavement Society.
