Washington State Knights of Columbus Coats For Kids Program 2022 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) FAQs as of July 23, 2022 FAQ #1: If my council wishes to participate in Supreme’s matching program for Coats for Kids, do we still order coats we are paying for from Knightsgear? Answer: To participate in the matching program, rather than using the main Coats for Kids website order form you must use the special Washington State Coats for Kids website created specifically for Washington State Councils. The link is https://wastatec4kids.orderpromos.com FAQ #2: How do I request matching cases from Supreme? Answer: For this year, if you submit your order through the special Washington State Coats for Kids checkout page AND submit a copy of your order along with your payment by check to the Washington State Coats for Kids Chair Mike Winkler, your order will also serve as your matching order request. That is, the cases in your matching order will be identical to the order you paid for. In the future we may be able to allow you to select different types of cases with your matching request. However, this checkout site is a test site this year and we currently do not have that capability. FAQ #3: If I order through the special Washington State Coats for Kids website, who do I make the check out to and where do I mail payment to? Answer: Checks are to be made out to Columbus Charities.
