Ignite the Night: A Circus Extravaganza for Peru's Street Kids
Summary
"Tonight a dream has come true," declared G.A.P Adventures CEO Bruce Poon Tip. A year ago, he and his team at the Planeterra Foundation brainstormed ideas for a significant fundraising event. The result? A spectacular circus.
Event Highlights
Last night, Zero Gravity Circus delivered 2.5 hours of breathtaking entertainment at Toronto's Steam Whistle Brewery, leaving a packed audience in awe.
Upon arrival at 7 PM, the atmosphere was calm as the stage and silent auction were being set up. The silent auction featured incredible items, including:

From 8 PM, attendees poured in. Entertainers on stilts engaged the pre-show crowd. By 9 PM, the house was full?"even standing room was scarce. Bruce Poon Tip humorously suggested staff trade their seats for free beer.
Bruce’s journey is inspiring. From a humble background as a Chinese-Trinidadian immigrant in Calgary, he built G.A.P Adventures into a global leader in sustainable travel. Recognized for his entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to social causes, Bruce captivates both media and audiences alike.
A newly released film showcased Planeterras initiatives in Cusco, illustrating the dire circumstances of street children. The organization provides them with shelter, education, and psychological support.
The Circus Spectacle
The show kicked off with the MCs, Foo and Feso?"clowns from Zero Gravity Circus. Foo communicated through a mix of French, gibberish, and expressive gestures, creating a humorous duo dynamic.
Throughout the performances, Feso juggled fire and even included a chainsaw in his act. A Hula Hoop artist amazed everyone with incredible dexterity, followed by fire artists and aerialists performing gravity-defying feats. The plate spinners kept audiences enthralled with their precision and skill.
A mock gang fight performance delighted the crowd with acrobatics and breakdancing. The aerial silks act, followed by other visually striking performances, showcased extraordinary talent and grace.
During intermission, audience members buzzed with excitement over the jaw-dropping acts. A door prize draw included a coveted trip to the Galapagos Islands, won by a woman from Cambridge, Ontario.
Conclusion
The evening wrapped up with a chance for the audience to mingle with the performers while enjoying refreshments. The event successfully raised over $20,000 for Planeterra's Cusco initiative, demonstrating the power of collective goodwill and enthusiasm.
