A Montreal’s tradition to celebrate the next generation of circus arts!
Under the Honorary chair of Réjean Lévesque, Executive Vice-President, Personal and Commercial Banking of the National Bank Financial Group, the Benefit Evening was a total success! The event raised $200,000 in profits in benefit of the National Circus School Annual Show and the students’ public presentations.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the School’s young artists were able to showcase their talent in a mesmerizing production. This professional experience was especially important for the 19 graduates before they took on the big tops around the world.
Gathered together at the circular performance hall of the Tohu, our 600 guests were dazzled by the daring virtuosity and creativity of these young talents.
The Foundation extends its deep thanks to Evening partners, sponsors, donors and volunteers!
