Sponsored Athletes

Hey there!

Welcome to the Chapiteu (welcome back if you're one of our returning fans), here is where it all happens! All of our updates, our happenings, and all things Team Carnie.

Did you know that circus is one of the most expensive athletic and artistic programs out there? Its true! Between the equipment costs, insurance, travel, training fees, competitions, and time spent, circus can add up quick. So how do circus performers afford to keep doing what they love?

Well we can't speak for everyone, but at TCP we have a special program that allows our serious performers to take advantage of generous sponsors like you! We have three ways we do this.

First, we have our patron system. This system allows fans, sponsors, and other interested parties to donate to our program, receiving behind the scene information and footage from our troupe, and all of the proceeds go to our performers. So our Patrons get to see some cool things from behind the show curtain, and they get to see just how much influence their support has on the development of our program. You can even sponsor one of our performers directly, and get to have one-on-one chats with them about their circus journey! Not only does this help our little Misfits flourish and become the best they are able, but it also allows our Patrons to see our students develop on a personal level. Sponsoring someone is one thing, but actually getting to be a part of their development is another.

To become a Team Carnie Patron, please follow the link and select the sponsorship level that is comfortable for you. Each level comes with its own BTS perks, so there is something for everyone!

Outside of our Patrons we have our second method to support our artists! Gofundme is a popular name in the crowdfunding world, covering everything from family needs, to natural disasters. We are using it to help support our program in any capacity we can, specifically with the relocation to our new facility. Gofundme is a great way to share our programs ideals across the globe, and it is a platform that allows people to give what they can. Where our Patrons offer continual support, Gofundme is a way for people to offer support when it works for them. Sometimes all you have is five dollars, sometimes you have more, Gofundme is an excellent way to utilize the sponsorship program, but at a more casual pace.

Our last method of sponsorship is something everyone should be familiar with! Remember back in school, or on a sports team when you had packets you took to businesses? They would help support your program, and in return you would get some cool T-shirts with all of their information on the back? This is called a partnership donation, or corporate sponsorship. Although this one is a bit more on the local side, TCP is a small program and we want to help support our other local businesses as well! If you have a company, or know a local company who would be interested in doing some partnership work with us, shoot us an email and we would love to help your company while promoting our program!

TCP strives to provide the best program and facility for our students, but we understand that without support from fans like you, that becomes terribly difficult. Our students are pushing their boundaries daily in our classes in order to reach peak performance and competition levels. We are BEYOND thankful for the support system we have, and if you would like to offer more help or other ideas to better our program, say hi! We love to hear from our support system and fans on ways to develop our program further!

Thanks again for popping by, and we hope to share some of our BTS development with you in the future as TCP grows!

As always,

Peace, Love, and Circus,

The Misfits and Runaways of Team Carnie
