Immediate Fundraising need
Since 1981, the Gym Dandies Children’s Circus has been a cherished part of
Scarborough, impacting more than 4,000 students. As Board Chair, I’m reaching
out to ask for your support as we face financial challenges that affect the
future of our program.
Gym Dandies is about more than circus skills — it builds teamwork,
perseverance, leadership, and confidence. To continue this legacy, we must close a funding gap.
Registration fees cover only about 40% of our expenses, and declining enrollment has increased the
need for fundraising.
