We go to the Bellwood Boys and Girls Club every Monday and Friday to play basketball, chess, softball, and other games with the kids. We also help with homework and test studying, especially for the state standardized tests in the spring, and we get to participate in fun birthday parties and group competitions!

This national effort against cancer sponsors events across the country, including one for the Georgia Tech campus. We will be holding fundraisers throughout the year to benefit Relay for Life and registering a team for GT Circle K. At the event, we will have a table with games and prizes for students who donate to the cause.
At the end of every club meeting, Circle K has Fun Fines, where we throw loose change at our trademark bell to be donated to the Six Cents Initiative. All proceeds go toward providing clean drinking water for people in third-world countries who have none. Many deadly diseases resulting from impure drinking water can be prevented through donations to this effort, which provides oral rehydration salts and water filters to improve the health and quality of life of these nations.
