    About Us

    When we first learned of the need for social circus with disadvantaged children in Central Texas, we knew we had to do something.

    Circus of Hope was a social circus active from 2013-2018; our nonprofit Uprise Circus was created to fill the need when they closed and expand it to serve a broader group of teens.

    The all-female founders and friends share a passion for helping kids, love of circus, and commitment to making an impact on their community.
