Benefit

Please join us on October 8-10, 2010 for the third annual Circus of Dreams benefit. This event features stunning performances by a collective of well known Seattle-area aerialists showcasing a variety of aerial arts including aerial hoops, silks, trapeze, and other amazing talent.

The first annual Circus of Dreams benefit took place on September 27, 2008 at Seattle’s ACT Theatre. It was a packed house for both the children’s matinee and evening performances.

Through ticket sales and fundraising, this event has raised over $50,000 for pediatric brain tumor research at Seattle Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center (http://www.seattlechildrens.org). Along with funding the event, sponsor donations made it possible for children who are battling life-threatening illnesses and their families to attend the show. These special guests and their families were given a backstage tour to meet the performers. The Rogers family stated: “It was the most amazing show I've ever seen… the kids really enjoyed getting to go backstage and talk with the performers and have treats.”

Donations and Event Proceeds

All proceeds from Circus of Dreams are donated to Seattle's Children's Hospital for pediatric brain tumor research (http://www.seattlechildrens.org). Brain tumors are the secnd most common type of childhood cancer other than leukemia 1. Research for pediatric cancer makes up less than 3% of cancer research, and only a small percentage of that funding is spent on brain tumors.

Sponsor donations fund the event and also help to bring children who are battling serious illnesses and their families to the event.
