Over the past few years we've raised social awareness through circus-based performances, book publishing, and book donations. We've donated tens of thousands of our books to schools and libraries, homeschoolers and parent centers throughout the US and Canada. Drawing from our circus shows and our published children's fantasy, FRUIT OF THE VINE, which promotes bystander intervention, our troupe has been called FACEPAINT (which stands for Fantasy and Circus Entertainers Partnering Against Intolerance). We have recently put together a Nonprofit Organization that is also called FACEPAINT, with the major endeavors of:
1. Raising social awareness
2. Providing educational books for children, and
3. Supporting cancer awareness
Our Vision: FACEPAINT is geared toward continued support of cultural and social awareness through our children's books/audiobook, videos, films, and donations.
We would like to share with you our cancer memoir, "From Both Sides":
