Circle K Champions United Cerebral Palsy…
Circle K Champions United Cerebral Palsy…One Coin at a Time
By Lisa Schnebly-Heidinger
Circle K is to United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of Central Arizona what Jerry Lewis is to the Muscular Dystrophy Association – a supporter so effective, and so recognized, that people learn more about disabilities because of a corporate sponser.
Circle K is on track to raise $3 million this year for UCP of Central
Arizona, and affiliates representing southern Arizona and Las Vegas.
Geoff Haxel, Vice-President of the Arizona Region for Circle K is proud

Circle K is teamwork, which is a testament to all the individuals who
make up the organization and is evident by their passion for UCP.”
