Circus says goodbye

Did you get a chance to go to the Big Apple Circus during its stop this year in West Nyack? We went tonight. Great fun, as always, though every year the show is so different, it’s hard to compare.
One thing that hasn’t changed over the past several years is Big Apple’s association with Rockland 21st Century Collaborative for Children and Youth, or 21C. Every time the Big Apple Circus comes to Lot J of the Palisades Center, one show is a fund-raiser for 21C.
21C runs the Family Resource Centers in seven of the county’s eight school districts.
Rockland is the only suburban county in the United States to have such a partnership—there are 31 Family Resource Centers in Rockland public schools. 21C uses the school setting to help provide early education and care, school age care, family support, mental health, health, and social services.
A nonprofit helping a nonprofit. Nice stuff.
