In February 2022 we were feeling hopeful about the year ahead when our beloved Vinnie Van Go became "Van Gone". The mechanics pronounced it as "Catestrophic Engine Failure" which are some pretty harse words to hear for a small NFP Community group. 
But not as harsh as hearing that it was going to cost over $11000 to fix as it needed a replacement engine. 
We have only had Vinnie for 18 months (during 2020-2021 mind you!) and in this time the price of vans has inceased so that it would cost us more to get a worse second hand vehicle than we had paid 18 months prior. Those of you that know us, will appreciate that we had been wanting, and needing, a van for many years to help support the outreach work we do at Roundabout Circus. We were able to use some of the government grant funding we recevied during COVID to purchase the van initially and thankfully we had some support to cover the upfront cashflow to replace the engine but we really need to recoup those costs. 

So here is our mission - We want to set a target of $11000 to cover the costs of bringing Vinnie back to life. He is now Vinnie the Phoenix. Rising from the engine flames to deliver circus and smiles to our awesome Central Coast Community. 

We have several FUN Raising events in mind and will be working towards our target in the coming months with Circus shows, events, socks, paintball and more. Or you can just give a donation to help us meet our target! 

It is a big target but we have an amazing community with a lot of heart and we have already done some fundraising so far this year so let's see what we can acheive! Thank you for your support
