Cirque Tea Party
- a SOLD OUT fundraiser in support of the CPA!
June 27, 2010, Mississauga Ontario, Canada
Dear Citizens of Wonderland,
We hope you are not going through Wonderland withdrawal now that your days are not filled with MAD-hatters, Gaga-Alice, Grinning Cheshire Cats, Crazy Caterpillars, Looney March Hares, Dainty Queens, Clumsy Cards and a Crazy White Rabbit who always insists you are LATE!!!
A2D2 would like to send our most sincere thanks to all of you for helping us make our CIRQUE TEA PARTY fund raiser a whimsical success! Thank you for helping us raise $3700 for the Canadian Paraplegic Association!
We would like to thank our show sponsors and show supporters for their time, energy and effort which they contributed to this project. Please check out their businesses below and consider them for your future product/or service needs.
We sincerely hope to see you all again in the audience next year for our third annual fundraiser in support and recognition of spinal cord injuries.

A note from Carolyn Pioro
(excerpted from the show program - Cirque Tea Party, June 27th 2010)
"In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again."
---Chapter 1, "Down the Rabbit Hole" from Lewis Carroll's, Alice in Wonderland

Those of us who have fallen, both literally and figuratively, have done so with far more intensity than dear Alice did. The early days of living with a spinal cord injury are dizzying, confusing and most of all very bleak. Thoughts become crowded by the impossibilities of life ahead, a life perhaps devoid of wonder and whimsy and anything lovely at all.
But thankfully an organization like CPA Ontario exists. An incomparable team of individuals who work tirelessly to not only lift the spirits of the fallen but to inform and inspire the SCI-individual to repair, to re-evaluate and to rejoin life. Granted, it is a life very different from before, but one that nonetheless may still show flickers and beams of loveliness and possibility.
CPA Ontario, I thank you (and I'm only one of hundreds who feel the same way) for supporting me and for helping me find my spirit again, which in the early days, I believed, had fallen farther than I did.
And I'm also so delighted that the generous and talented performers of A2D2, led by their fearless leaders --- the sisters DeAngelis --- have decided to host today's marvellous Cirque Tea Party. These acrobats and aerialists are not only bringing us along on a topsy-turvy, Cirque-tacular adventure, but while perfecting their circus disciplines they have also been working diligently to raise awareness and to raise funds that will go to CPA Ontario and will in turn better the lives of many living with a spinal cord injury.
I am so very, very grateful for both A2D2 and CPA Ontario.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Pioro
Cupcake Connoisseur and Wonderland Super-Fan!
