Coconut Telegraph

On February 22, 100 area veterans will enjoy the 1pm matinee show of Circus Sarasota thanks to a partnership of Goodwill Manasota and the circus. Area veterans and their families receiving assistance and accessing programs through Goodwill's Veterans Services Program will attend free of charge. Goodwill Foundation Vice President Veronica Brandon Miller, who will serve as honorary ringmaster during the show noted, "We are so grateful to Circus Sarasota for offering this opportunity to raise awareness of our mission to change lives through the power of work.  We are also thrilled that area veterans from all four branches of the military will have the chance to enjoy the afternoon at Circus Sarasota's sold-out show. We feel it's our duty to honor our returning heroes, and providing them with opportunities to enjoy one of Sarasota's renowned entertainment treasures is a wonderful way to show them we appreciate the sacrifices they have made on our behalf."
