$20,000 goal

Circus Juventas is ready to spruce up for spring, and we need your help! We are raising funds to better serve our community by giving the big top’s common areas a little lift this spring. These refurbishments will enhance the experience of our students, families, and guests AND reduce our eco-footprint with ongoing environmental and economical sustainability efforts.

What’s in the works:

  • Outdoor gathering spaces: new benches, tables, and chairs for the exterior entryway and backyard—ALL for CJ community use!
  • New tables and seating inside the lobby.
  • Eco-friendly LED overhead arena lighting which will use significantly less energy and lower our electricity costs by $10,000 each year.
  • Lining up a cornucopia of food trucks onsite during select class hours.
  • Fresh paint throughout the building.
  • Festive exterior entryway landscaping.
  • A projection screen in the backyard to facilitate movie nights for alumni, students, coaches, and more!

Help us reach our $40,000 dollar goal! If we raise $20,000, we will unlock a matching contribution of an additional $20,000! We give many thanks to longstanding CJ families and supporters Heather McMullen and Dirk Koenig and Amy and Lance Lemieux who have pledged to make the matching contribution once we get halfway to our goal!

Bonus: every donor of $250 or more will be invited to join us in the offices of co-founders Dan and Betty Butler for the Spring Celebration Performance on May 7th for a pre-show reception beginning at 5.30pm and an invitation to stay for the duration of the 7pm show in the offices.  (The evening is a cocktail-style event with limited, first-come-first-served availability, so don’t wait to donate!)
