Regular Service
To fulfill the first tenant, service, Knox Circle Kers get involved both on and off campus in a variety of ways. The Service Initiative of Circle K International is “Focus on the Future: Children,” so CKers often volunteer with kids. Whether you like to babysit children, play with animals, or paint houses, there are service projects to fit your interest! Members have recently volunteered with:
- Safe Harbor Women’s Shelter
- Big Brothers Big Sisters
- Knox County Nursing Home
- Humane Society
- Christmas-in-Action
- FISH Food Depository
- St. Mary’s Square Assisted Living
- Alzheimer’s Memory Walk
- Take Back the Night
- Sleep-in-a-box
- Cooke Elementary School
- Adopt-a-Spot
- Faculty child care
The main charitable organization of Knox’s Circle K is the Spastic Paralysis Research Foundation. To raise funds for the organization, CKers have gotten quite creative, hosting a variety of fundraisers:
- Bagging for Tips at HyVee Grocery
- Car Smash
- Skate Night
- Bowl-a-thon
- Valentine’s Day Carnation Sale
