The suggested donation is $5 per person or $20 per family.

The holiday-themed circus performance includes juggling, acrobatics, tight wire, German Wheel, poi, and more!

The show is the brainchild of The Social Circus Foundation’s IJGD volunteers Rosa Groll and Kira Haid, of Stuttgart, Germany.

Haid, Groll and the entire Circus Mojo crew are ready to bring the holiday spirit to the tri-state.

“The holidays are the perfect time to bring some joy to the area.
What better way to raise funds for The Social Circus Foundation,” said founder, Paul Miller. “Our staff and students have worked hard to produce a stellar show.”

Also performing in the holiday show are students Tate West and Joey
Holt.

West is a student at Ludlow High School and has been participating in Circus Scholastics, a Social Circus Foundation program providing circus class and homework help for Ludlow students.

Holt came to Circus Mojo summer camp via Circus Wellness, another program of The Social Circus Foundation, and has learned many skills during weekend classes. His circus classes have been credited with keeping him healthy and fit.
The holiday event is sponsored in part by WVXU, Second Sight Spirits and Wynner’s Cup Café.

The Social Circus Fund INC, is a nonprofit that raises funds to support programs using circus as tools for social change and in medical settings. Many of the people it serves have limited resources.
