Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, please allow me to introduce you to the Circus Day Foundation.

In the last eight years, this charitable social circus organization has helped thousands of children in St. Louis. The Circus Day Foundation (aka Circus Harmony) teaches children of all different cultures, abilities and socio-economic backgrounds how to function as confident kids and to "leap over social barriers." Sure, the seemingly endless supply of corny mottos can be a bit much, but if they can use juggling and acrobatics to better the lives of the youth in the Lou, more power to them.

I'm a little too old to run away and join the circus myself, but I would definitely be interested in going to see them perform. If you're interested in helping to teach a child the art of life through circus education, please go here to sponsor a child.
