We Have Big Plans for the Greatest "Little" Show on Earth and We Need Your Help!
For 62 years, Sailor Circus has been teaching our youth the art of circus, while developing their self-confidence and teaching them valuable lessons. We need your help to ensure that the tradition continues.
Sailor Circus has launched a Capital Campaign to raise money for the complete transformation of the property into a multi-function community facility.
The Future of the Sailor Circus Will Depend on Help from others ... Like You!
The success of our capital campaign will rely heavily on donations made by individuals and corporations who support programs that motivate young people to channel their energies into activities that will build character and self-esteem. Community support of the capital campaign will ensure the continuation of the Sailor Circus as a Sarasota institution.
The primary function of this facility will be to serve as the permanent home of the Sailor Circus youth program and headquarters for the Police Athletic League of Sarasota County. The Capital Campaign is being conducted in three phases, and is currently halfway to meeting the goal of the first phase.
The completion of the three phases of the Sailor Circus Capital Campaign will offer the community:
A climate controlled, 31,000-square-foot arena in a prime midtown location
A venue that can host concerts, artistic performances, trade shows, community fairs, galas, and more
A new gymnasium facility, located in the new Educational/Activity Center
A 7,800-square-foot meeting or events hall that can be rented to the business community for meetings and parties
An endowment fund, to ensure the long-term future of the Sailor Circus in Sarasota
