This year in addition to all of the fundraising activities on Cannonball throughout the weekend including the exciting new "Cannonball Fundraising Grand Prix", Circle K are running a nationwide campaign entitled, "When you fill, support Jack and Jill" and 1 cent from every litre of miles and miles+ fuel sold at Circle K will be donated to the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation.
