It’s a year away, but when the Ramos Brothers Circus comes back to Manteca next fall the owners are promising to dedicate their opening show to honor and celebrate the lives of Manteca area residents who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost as well as those who are fighting back against the disease.
Lisa Rowe of Give Every Child a Chance and a member of the Relay for Life movement set the wheels in motion for the circus to focus on the cancer fundraiser.
Rowe said that a generous portion of the special gala performance in the community will go directly to the Relay for Life effort. She said she hopes the non-profit group will be able to raise some $10,000 during the show. The circus tent boasts a 1,000 seat-capacity.
Rowe added that the show based out of Las Vegas is a “really clean” show with an array of family acts especially for children of the community.
The circus was located on the open land to the east of McDonald’s on East Yosemite Avenue for about two weeks beginning in mid-October.
Anyone wishing to be part of the circus gala next year may call Ayla Flemming at (209) 679-8593.
