We need to raise $400,000 by the end of the calendar year
After several years of compounding challenges, this summer’s unexpected hardships pushed us to a critical point. A serious rigging accident midseason deeply affected us. We paused to regroup and ultimately made the difficult decision to cancel a portion of our tour, resulting in a major revenue loss.
To close the gap, we must raise $400,000 by year’s end. These funds are essential to meet our 2025 commitments and give us the time and space to plan for a strong 2026.
Please donate now to help Smirkus recover, regroup and restructure, and keep the magic of circus alive.
