Ways You Can Support Big Top
Article by Carrie Slater Duffy, Development Manager
Big Top Chautauqua is a non-profit organization that does much to add to the quality of life in the Northwoods. Ticket sales
alone do not cover the costs of putting on a season. We depend on the generosity of our volunteers, donors, and sponsors to make
all that we do possible, including our original productions, free cultural programs and school matinées. Here are some of the
things people like you do to support Big Top’s mission:
To volunteer, make a donation,
or support Big Top in other ways,
contact us at [phone].
1. Volunteer – Nearly 300 people volunteer each year, working
at shows and giving other behind-the-scenes support.
2. Sponsor – Sponsors are listed for each event in this
magazine. They provide needed funds to help cover the costs
of putting on a performance. Thank them and give them your
business!

3. Donate – Gifts from more than 900 donors cover 25% or
more of the budget each year. We wouldn’t exist without
contributions. Make a gift online at bigtop.org/support.
4. Advertise – The advertisers you see in this magazine are
friends of Big Top. They purchase ads and gain exposure for
their businesses while helping cover the cost of marketing
materials. Please patronize their businesses.
5. Buy Merchandise – Buying something in the Big Top Gift
Shop (at shows, or bigtop.org) not only gets you great swag,
but the revenue helps cover show and operating costs.
6. Raffle – When you buy raffle tickets at the tent, you get a
chance to win great donated prizes and the proceeds support
Big Top.
7. Big TAP ChautauquaFest – Ticket sales from this fantastic
fall event support Big Top and Mt. Ashwabay. Enjoy beer,
liquor, and wine; great food; live music; and a Fatty 5k while
benefiting two nonprofits that bring enormous benefits to
the community!
