CIRCLE K PARTNERSHIPS CKI clubs serve children by aiding other organizations committed to serving children. Please see below for a list of organizations recognized as official Circle K International Partners and Charities.
Although they both have the same name, the US and Canada March of Dimes are two completely different organizations. In Canada, March of Dimes is a community-based rehabilitation and advocacy charity for people with physical disabilities. The organization’s goal is to enhance the independence and community participation of people with physical disabilities every day through a wide range of programs and services across the country. In the US, March of Dimes is focused on preventing birth defects and infant mortality. The organization has led the way to discover the genetic causes of birth defects, to promote newborn screening, and to educate medical professionals and the public about best practices for healthy pregnancy. The rising incidence of premature birth has demanded action, and March of Dimes has responded by initiating an intensive, multi-year campaign to raise awareness and find the causes of prematurity. Circle K members have helped by raising funds annually and participated in the annual March for Babies, which usually happens in late April.
