Story
The 13th Annual Knights of Columbus and Catholic Charities NJ Army Tank Pull Challenge will be held on June 11th in Clifton, NJ. The Tank Pull is a physical test of endurance, as competitors must make a determined effort to overcome the impossible odds of moving an immovable object an 80,000 pound tank mounted on a flatbed truck. All of the funds raised on this event will benefit veterans causes, including our military wounded.

The Tank Pull Challenge was started 15 years ago by Knights of Columbus members John Hughes and Ray Lil. To date, the event has raised over $1.1 million dollars for wounded warriors and veterans in need.
Catholic Charities, Diocese of Paterson, will be collaborating with the Knights of Columbus to organize this event and give back to our Veterans. Catholic Charities Veterans Program supports hundreds of Veterans in need throughout New Jersey each day.
