Adelphi University Circle K and Paws and Rewind Christmas Carol for Charity

This past holiday season members of the Adelphi University Circle K International Club, the collegiate level of Kiwanis that is active in community service, and the members of Paws and Rewind, Adelphi’s a cappella group, took a break from their community service and performances to carol around Garden City to raise money for the Adopt-A-Family campaign.

On two different nights, members from both organizations went around Garden City, singing a holiday carol at each doorstep. “It was really nice to spread the holiday cheer and sing Christmas songs with the group all for a good cause.” said the president of Paws and Rewind Rohit Singla, sophomore biology major.

This year students raised a total of $300 to buy clothes, toys, and other gifts for their “adopted” family. “This is one of Circle K International’s annual events. We are thrilled to have Paws and Rewind A cappella group join us again this year,” mentioned Ashley Gitlitz, a junior social work major and president of Circle K.

Students are encouraged to get involved in more than 80 clubs and organizations. Through numerous programs and activities both on and off campus, they participate in many local service projects and fundraise for many national and international charities.
