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, the work of CCAC’s members and supporters strive to provide valuable experiences focused on circus arts to those in need.
