OUR MISSION
The Community Circus Arts Corporation (CCAC) is a non-profit, public benefit corporation that was founded in 1986. CCAC was established for charitable and educational purposes which include a strong mission to support, promote, and actively assist various community circuses as well as other manifestations of the circus arts. CCAC focuses on the history and tradition of circus in Redlands, California, which began when Roy Coble created the Great All-American Youth Circus in 1929.
CCAC memberships and contributions help preserve and promote Redlands' circus heritage primarily through the Great All-American Youth Circus program and outreach efforts. By providing funding for supplemental scholarships, costumes, merchandise, and coordinating volunteers during the annual circus performances, CCAC strives to provide valuable opportunities focused in the circus arts, to those in need.

I am extremely grateful for all of the help that I receive from CCAC. Without their support, my kids and I would not have been able to have been involved in this wonderful program that is the YMCA Circus. They helped us get to a circus convention in San Diego to learn more about training and be able to give back to our beloved community, which was a fantastic experience.

Additionally, through community outreach programs and engaging with other social circuses, CCAC is able to maintain active relationships with organizations such as the American Youth Circus Organization (AYCO) and American Circus Educators Association (ACE).
