Service Spotlight The Tomorrow Fund Grant: Pima Partnership Prom The Circle K Club at the University of Arizona received a Tomorrow Fund Grant in 2016 to provide a prom for Pima Partnership High School, a school that was struggling in raising the funds to provide the special night to their students. Club members said "making this event happen was an incredible experience."University of Arizona Circle K, with the help of the Kiwanis Club of de Amigos Tuscon, raised $1,100 in order to cover the money that was reimbursed by the Tomorrow Fund Grant.

U of A CKI members arrived that morning to transform the Hellenic Community Center into a Night in Paris, the prom theme, each chair was complete with black and white bows and yellow flowers, French decor and Eiffel Towers adorned each table, and silhouettes flooded the room creating a jazzy vibe on the dance floor. The most stunning decoration however, was a beautiful chandelier that dazzled the entire room.

Members of U of A CKI were also able to come back to the prom as the student from Pima Partnership High School arrived. The U of A CKI students were able to see the happiness on the faces of the students when they saw the beautifully transformed community center. This amazing event couldn't have happened without The Tomorrow Fund grant!
