The honor recognizes the Kiwanian’s contributions to Circle K International.

Peck Fox has been awarded the 2025 Circle of Service Award by Circle K International (CKI), the Kiwanis Service Leadership Program for university students. A member of the Kiwanis Club of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, U.S. — and the Alabama District administrator for CKI — Fox was honored in June during the 2025 CKI Convention in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S. (See above, with 2024-25 CKI President Taylor DiCicco.)
The Circle of Service award annually honors one or more individuals within Kiwanis International who have made the most outstanding contribution to CKI.
Fox’s affiliation with the Kiwanis family began in 1975, when he joined the University of Alabama’s CKI club. He was a member of the board that created the Alabama CKI Luminaries project — the club’s annual signature project, during which members raise money by lighting lanterns and selling items on the university quad. Fox went on to serve as a CKI international trustee, further strengthening his love for service and the community.
A distinguished record
Fox met his wife during his time in CKI, and soon after his time at the University of Alabama, he took a job as the Alabama District’s administrator. He has won the honor of distinguished administrator for the past four years.
Fox’s connection to the Kiwanis family also includes his own family: His daughter is a past governor of CKI’s Alabama District, and his son-in-law is a past CKI president.
Fox has been described as a mentor, leader, confidant and a supporter. He has also been described as loyal, compassionate, impactful and selfless. These traits have made a lasting impact on the youth he has served and the communities he has touched.
“Peck Fox is such an outstanding Kiwanian,” says Dillian Alcorn, current lieutenant governor of the Alabama District. “He has made an impact on so many people’s lives that if we could get a testament from each and every person he has impacted, we would have to turn in an entire book.”
