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 Family Crisis Center
• 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
• 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
