Thursday May 4, 2006 - This ain't no 3 ring Circus!
G.A.P Adventures & Zero Gravity Circus present- "Ignite the Night"
Thank You! Ignite the Night Circus did more than simply delight a sold out crowd of more than 400 guests, it also raised $20,000 towards our $100,000 goal! The night featured Zero Gravity Circus who dazzled the crowd with high-flying trapeze artists, stilt walkers, contortionists and acrobats. A silent auction had guests lining up to bid on a variety of items including G.A.P Adventures trips to Peru and Costa Rica, professional chef services, a membership from Diesel Fitness, andÊ a digital camera from Fuji Film. Ticket holders also had the chance to win a G.A.P Adventures sailing trip in the Galapagos Islands and a special gift basket from Tilley Edurables.
"We're thrilled with the success of our incredible kick off event, Ignite the Night", said Bruce Poon Tip, CEO, G.A.P Adventures. "Thank you to everyone who joined us for this spectacular evening. All funds raised from Ignite the Night will go towards purchasing land and building a permanent home for a drop in centre for street children that we support in Cuzco, Peru."
A special thanks to all our sponsors & volunteers!
