I would like to establish a large collection of successful programs that clubs can use as a resource. If your club has done any kind of successful program (recruitment, fundraising, social, service, etc), please email us so we can share it with other clubs in our district and internationally.

Donations from Companies

Companies are pretty generous about donating to Circle K, as long as you ask them early enough with a written request on club stationery. Ask companies what their procedure for donations is WELL in advance.

Doughnut Sale

Sell Krispy Kreme doughnuts

Spaghetti Dinner

Have stores donate spaghetti, tomato sauce, bread, and salad. Make and deliver spaghetti dinners to people on your campus. BIG money maker if you publicize it well.

Trick or Treat for IDD or UNICEF

This event is SO easy it hurts. College students have no good excuse to go trick-or-treating and this gives them one, so getting people to participate is a cinch. First, make sure you have enough UNICEF boxes. Request them early--before the beginning of the school year--because if you don't get them until November, you have to wait another year to trick or treat.

During regular trick-or-treat hours on Halloween, go trick-or-treating. At each house, explain who you are and what you are raising money for. If you are raising money specifically for IDD, tell them that 5 cents saves a life.

Suggestions:

• If you can, wear costumes
• Trick-or-treat in groups of 2 or 3 people
• Print out maps and divide up your routes ahead of time. People get ticked if more than 1 group of Circle K'ers asks them for money.
• Trick-or-treat around the dorms at your school in addition to going off-campus. Students can be pretty generous with spare change.
• Open this event up to other students outside of Circle K . . . it's a great way to get your name out and get new people involved.
• BRING YOUR PILLOWCASE!! Candy is the best perk of this event!
