I'm looking forward to attending this event: Circus Dreams, Friday, September 18th, 8pm.

Circus of Dreams Guild (http://www.circusofdreams.org/) is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing hope and joy to children with brain tumors. Circus of Dreams presents a children's circus performance; the concept of the show is the joy and inspiration of dreaming big. The show is open to the public, however we will be hosting special guests at the event. Children battling cancer will be sponsored to come to the matinee show with their families and will receive a fun backstage tour to meet the performers and other special surprises.

Circus of Dreams was founded in 2007 by Jenn Wrenn in collaboration with her sister Katy, who in July 2007 at age 28 was diagnosed with having brain tumors. 'I wanted to do something to inspire my sister -- and children battling cancer like her -- the same way she inspired me with her bravery', says Jennifer. Katy says of the project: 'when my sister offered me the chance to put together this benefit, it was the perfect opportunity to support research that's working to find better, safer treatments for kids. I think of it like this: Every dollar we raise puts us $1 closer to finding a cure..'
