UCP proudly acknowledges key corporate partners from fiscal years 2010-2011.
For more than 30 years, Circle K has named UCP its "charity of choice," donating more than $40 million over the span of the relationship and more than $1 million in FY 2011 alone.
- In Spring 2009, UCP and its Circle K partners release a series of videos that tell the story about the multi-decade relationship, canister program and fundraising events. Watch the Circle K Florida video.
- To deepen Circle K Florida's connection to the communities it serves and increase support for UCP affiliates in participating regions, Circle K and UCP launch "Adopt a Child/Adopt a Life," celebrating and promoting the tremendous difference that Circle K Florida makes in communities across Florida. Unlike the earlier coin collection campaigns, each Circle K store now features the story and photo of a UCP client living in the area of that particular store. Circle K customers now know they are supporting those in their immediate community.
