Sitka Cirque Covid-19 Shutdown Relief Fund

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Sitka Cirque has been closed since March 17th, 2020.  Like many businesses we are struggling to pay our employees and our bills without knowing when we will see regular income again. We are also preparing to give refunds to those that paid for the whole semester of classes, which will cut into our savings.
We have applied for government funding but so far have not received any.
We are concerned that if we are unable to open our doors this summer, that we will soon be out of savings and unable to pay our rent. We are making plans for all outcomes, but for now, we are doing everything we can to see Sitka Cirque open for business once the CDC and government deem it safe.

If you feel you can donate anything to us during this time we would greatly appreciate it!  Many of you are facing similar uncertainties for the future of your jobs/businesses and we understand that not everyone can afford to make a donation right now. If you know someone who might be able to help us, even with a small donation, please share this fundraiser with them. 
Donations would go towards paying our summer rent. Our landlord has allowed us to pay half of our usual rent through July, so if we reach our $3000 goal it would cover most of our rent for June and July.

We love Sitka and the amazing circus family we have here. We want nothing more that to see you all again and get back to dancing in the air! Thank you all for being in our lives.
Lots of love,
Frances Donohoe and Charles Hart of Sitka Cirque
