In addition to the Gold Achievement award, the club's adviser, David Womack, received a Hixon Fellowship Award at the convention. Each nickel donated provides sufficient iodine to save one life in a third world country. The UA chapter, sponsored by the Tuscaloosa Kiwanis Club, is no stranger to international-level awards. For three consecutive years, the club placed first in Gold Achievement, a feat few other clubs in the organization can claim. Circle K members visit Bryce Hospital's two wards on a rotating basis so each is visited every other week.

Circle K provides regular help at RISE to work with the children. At the YMCA, Circle K members work with swimming programs and the after-school program and tutor children. Members visit nursing home residents on a weekly basis during the school year.
