Today we are launching our membership campaign to raise money to help us with the transition to our new organization. We need to raise $25,000. I and the Board are working on finding corporate sponsors, and both SANCA and Circus Smirkus have already stepped in with leadership contributions by becoming partner members. Here's what we're asking our supporters to do:
Send us a personal donation. Send a check payable to American Youth Circus Organization, to AYCO, 29 Dempsey Avenue, Princeton, NJ 08640, or go to our website, www.americanyouthcircus.org and donate online.
If you’re not a paid up member, join AYCO now. Despite the large number of supporters seen at festivals, only a small proportion of our supporters are paid up members. From the fall, we will be charging an annual subscription to access AYCO services. Sign up before May 31 and you will receive 18 months’ membership for the price of 12. You can join through our website, www.americanyouthcircus.org.
Organize a fundraising event. If you are part of a performing organization, please dedicate a spring or summer performance to raising money for AYCO. Sell tickets, pass round a hat, put on a fancy dinner, whatever suits your organization.
Tell a friend. If every member brings one new member to AYCO, we double our membership income!
Volunteer. We will need help in every corner of the country, using every skill. From quick help with graphics to organizing regional festivals, from serving on a board committee to calling to welcome new members: we need you all. E-mail zoe@americanyouthcircus.org to find out how you can help. We have a long list of jobs!
