Capital Campaign Update

Skilled trades needed

Our building is going up fast and time is flying by!

We're gradually getting closer to our million dollar goal thanks to amazing support from our community! We have $40,000 to raise in just two months to meet the goal of our challenge grant. We've been writing grants, attending fundraising workshops, and getting creative with March Mania to reach new audiences. 

Do you have a fundraising idea to share? Please email Director of Development Stephanie Richards, stephanie@madisoncircusspace.com

MCS in the Community

MCS Students Facebook Group!

Look for developments on the new Facebook Madison Circus Space Student group! Now available as a hub for sharing information about classes and other insider circus events, the page was started by MCS’ new Marketing and Social Media Committee to inform and involve students that aren’t yet members. To kick off the new page and learn more about our circus space community, we’re inviting students to share a photo and a short bio. 5 lucky winners will be randomly chosen to receive the 2019 MCS calendar!

Join the group here!

Host Family for International German Wheel Student

Are you interested in potentially hosting an exchange student who happens to be an awesome German wheeler, or do you know someone else who might want to know more?! International Experience is looking for a host family for 15-year-old Jana from Germany, who trains wheel in her hometown and is hoping to keep training it while abroad from August 2019 to July 2020. Because there are only about half a dozen places in the U.S. that offer wheel programs and Madison has one of the largest, IE is hoping to connect Jana with a Madison-area family. Here is an FAQ page about hosting. If you are interested in possibly hosting Jana or know someone who might be interested, please contact Judy Hintz at j.hintz@international-experience.net or give her a call at 920-915-1054.

Crossback Massage at MCS

Crossback Massage, located at the entrance of the Madison Circus Space, has several big announcements! 
So far this year, $956.50 has been donated to MCS, so thank you for supporting both spaces as you take care of yourselves.

For the duration of the matching campaign, 50% of the massage price will be donated to MCS, so MCS effectively gets a massage when you do!
Parents, stop in for a quick massage while your kids are in class.
Every four referrals you bring to Crossback Massage earns you a free massage.

Self care is more selfless than ever!
Schedule your massage at www.crossbackmassage.com/schedule or email Alex directly at crossbackmassage@gmail.com
Or find Alex in the space to get a 15-minute tune-up before or after your circus classes this year.
