Circus Bizircus Raises $67,000 For Cincinnati Children’s Hospital

“Ladies and Gentlemen….WELCOME TO CIRCUS BIZIRCUS!!!” – It’s hard to believe that it’s been two months since we heard those legendary words. Before we recap this incredible event, we have to take time to thank all of our sponsors and guests for helping us make this night special and most importantly, for helping us make an impact on our community.

Circus Bizircus: The Best Party You Haven’t Been To Yet

Circus Bizircus was designed to be a party that took our guests to a new place. Children with Autism have a vast range of sensory tolerances and preferences. On this night, we used a combination of light, vibrant color, and rich sound to deliver an experience that could emulate what an Autistic child may experience on a daily basis. Our goal was to create an atmosphere that our guests would never forget. An incredible production team, circus-style entertainment, a fire show, a lady on a horse, a burlesque show, and many other talented entertainers helped us achieve that goal!

Cincinnati Children’s

We made it known very early that we were going to pledge the Circus Bizircus proceeds to The Kelly O’Leary Center at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. We are thrilled to announce that we were able to contribute $67,000 to this amazing organization. At EmPath Foundation, our core mission revolves around early detection and early intervention in children with Autism. Although we are still working with Cincinnati Children’s on final budget allocation, the resources from Circus Bizircus will be dedicated to making early diagnosis possible for more families in the Cincinnati region. Stay tuned, we will be sharing more information as it becomes available!

A Boy Named Jagger

The highlight of Circus Bizircus wasn’t the lights, the food, the drinks, or the live entertainment; it was a boy named Jagger. Jagger was diagnosed with Autism and has received incredible therapy through Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. He is thriving and is the inspiration behind the creation of EmPath Foundation. We budgeted time for him to come on stage and perform one of his favorite songs. But what happened next, shocked us all. Jagger didn’t walk on stage, he TOOK the stage. Completely unscripted, this six-year-old boy took a deep breath, and with everything he had, he shouted, “ARE YOU GUYS READY TO RULE THE WORLD?!” The crowd erupted into a cheering roar, the music dropped, and Jagger began to do what Jagger does; he performed. It truly was an inspiring moment that painted an incredible picture of what’s possible. We want to give other kiddos the same treatment opportunities that Jagger has had. We want to help them unlock their “superpowers.”
