Thank you to all of the performers, volunteers, parents, and audience members who helped make this circus season so successful. As we look ahead to the new circus year we have three events to add to your calendar. Tryouts for the 2025-2026 circus season will be held in August. Mark your calendar on August 10th 2025 for the annual CCAC members meeting. And save the date for the CCAC fundraising dinner on October 4th 2025.
“I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the support our family has received from the Community Circus Arts Corporation (CCAC). When we were a single-income household, finances were tight, and every decision had to be weighed carefully. Our children had a deep passion for circus arts and were eager to take on as many classes as they could to grow and improve. But realistically, without financial assistance, we would have had to say no — because we simply couldn’t afford it. Thanks to CCAC’s support, that answer didn’t have to be “no.” Instead, our kids were able to immerse themselves in their training, gaining not only new skills but also confidence, discipline, and a sense of community. We are incredibly thankful for the opportunities CCAC has made possible. The impact on our family has been lasting and meaningful, and we deeply appreciate all that you do to make circus arts accessible to families like ours.”

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.
Do Circus Squad is a group of young adults who exhibit the leadership skills necessary to build awareness of CCAC’s mission. This squad is primarily involved in building the social media presence of CCAC, mentoring other circus participants, designing workout videos that enhance technique, and building the CCAC brand.
