Circle K - Highland Invites You To Assist in Supporting CMN


May 5-29, participating Circle K stores are selling icon balloons to raise funds for CMN-STL. When donating at the register, customers can make an impactful difference in the lives of millions of children and families.
The Circle K (store #4701352), in Highland, IL is hosting a special event Up Up and Away with Circle K on May 25. From 4am-4pm the Highland, IL store has a goal to fill the front exterior wall of their store with icon balloons. This event is in correlation with Circle K’s national fuel event where customers receive .40 off of a gallon of fuel, up to 20 gallons. Lisa the Store Manager and her team, hopes the traffic from the national fuel event will help their location sell as many icon balloons as possible to help change kids’ health, and change the future. Lisa and her team at Circle K are dedicated to raising funds for CMN-STL because, they truly believe that the Highland community has a giving heart when it comes to taking care of children and families in need.
Circle K supports CMN Hospitals through a traditional icon balloon campaign. Collectively, Circle K has raised $19.1M nation-wide since the inception of the partnership and likely will reach $20 million lifetime fundraising milestone in 2023

Hello! How does 15% off a future private party and entry to win a $50 gift certificate sound? Good?

Great - read on!

As an indie art studio and not a franchise we are committed to our guests 100% and want you to have an amazingly fun time whether it’s a girls night out, a family day, bachelorette party or team building outing. We aren’t just another paint and sip franchise – we offer unique and personalized experiences both family friendly and grownups only!
