Circus caters for disadvantaged kids

By JONATHON HOWARD

THE Rotary Club of Noosa has again hosted its annual Special Children’s Festival Circus Quirkus at the Nambour Civic Centre recently.
The show, produced by International Entertainment PL, is specially choreographed for children determined to be in need of a brighter day as a result of their disadvantage lifestyle or health condition.
The show provides humorous entertainment and comedy by professional performers and the Rotary Club of Noosa provided two sessions to cater for demand.
The show provided many young children with a stress-free time in their life when serious health issues hinder their daily life.
The Rotary Club of Noosa used a professional telemarketer to attract hundreds of businesses across the Sunshine Coast and from Caboolture to Gympie, to sponsor seats for the disadvantage children attending.
It is the altruistic attitude of the business community that makes this event possible and Noosa Rotary applauds sponsors for participating in this show and those to come.
Those attending the show will see banners representing sponsors who have supported the event and Noosa Rotary very much appreciates all sponsors who contributed.
Circus Quirkus Community Services director Darryl Dent said about 1000 disadvantaged children of all ages and their carers attended the two shows.
“Funds will now be channelled back into the local community to assist Youth Programs, SES and Coast Guard just to name a few of the many organisations that benefit directly from this event,” Mr Dent said.
“Our gratitude and thanks go out to the many businesses and individuals who give so generously to make this all possible.”
