“I joined CKI because I wanted to continue my journey in the Kiwanis family from Key Club to CKI and build new lasting friendships with people who value service and fellowship just as much as I do. I also enjoyed all the leadership experience that Kiwanis has given me.”

Did you spot President Zak Kahn and other Kiwanis family leaders on the Kiwanis International Rose Parade float? Not only did CKI members ride in the parade, but about 7,000 CKI and Key Club International members decorated more than a dozen floats for the 135th Rose Parade in Pasadena, California. Their hard work paid off: the Kiwanis float received the Tournament Volunteer Award. We love our volunteer spirit! ❤️

In just two years, the Circle K International club at High Point University in North Carolina, U.S., turned a casual browse through a 1973 yearbook into a successful Brick x Brick fundraiser. Despite an initial fundraising goal of US$2,000, the Miss High Point University charity pageant for UNICEF USA raised over US$11,000 in two weeks. This year, the club set an even higher goal and exceeded it again – all while uniting campus organizations. https://bit.ly/3vdPMEm
