COVID-19: Emergency Funds Needed

DONATE TODAY TO HELP SANCA THROUGH THE COVID-19 CRISIS

Dear community,

I don’t normally send you e-mails like this, but these are desperate times.

The COVID-19 pandemic is already hurting our artists, coaches, and families. SANCA has lost over $300,000 and could lose hundreds of thousands more if this crisis worsens. Our staff are losing their livelihoods from the loss of coaching hours and the cancellation of events and performances.For more information about SANCA’s closure status and financial situation, see our FAQ.

Please send an urgent gift of $30 or more today.

I just got off the phone with a worried mom named Emily who shared with me how much they miss their circus classes and how important it is that they find home activities to keep them healthy and engaged.

Your gift today will make it possible for SANCA to bring online and live-streaming classes like Circus Strong fitness and conditioning classes, juggling, and more to families like Emily’s.

Your gift will support students who may feel isolated and lonely by giving them an opportunity to connect with their friends and community — especially students with special needs in our Social Circus and Every Body’s Circus programs who may need additional social support and a coach.

This is not our only need. We are committed to keeping our employees and artists fully paid through this crisis. Your gift will help us to continue to employ and support our staff. It will help us continue necessary operations during this crisis.

SANCA’s budget is tight. No one expected the severity of the COVID-19 crisis. There are no extra funds in our budget to meet this unexpected need. Your urgent gift of $30 or more will provide immediate relief and support for our community as they adapt to the coming weeks of social isolation.

Your action is needed now. Please, send your gift today.

If you have already made a gift — thank you!

With gratitude for your support,

John “JT” Tannous
Executive Director
