Circus Squad, 16 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Trenton Circus Squad inspires young people to take big leaps in life. Our squad members learn how to cooperate, push themselves and serve their community – all through the astonishing practice of circus arts. Circus Squad members learn physical techniques, life skills and build trust with teens from other neighborhoods. They lead community engagement through workshops and performances with younger children and families. It’s an often-breathtaking experience filled with exercise, learning and joyful laughter for kids of all ages.

The Squad members will be able to perform better and more safely with these new shoes. They will give the Squad members more traction as they walk the tight rope, balance on the globe, and climb the Chinese pole. They will give the Squad general good footing as they move across a slippery floor adjusting mats and equipment before and after each act. This wish will supply a new pair of shoes to one squad member.
