Thank you for your ongoing support.

In April, as we celebrate Humor Month, we’re reminded that laughter doesn’t just lift spirits—it gathers people.

At our 27th Annual Portland Benefit Show, our community came together to celebrate the joy of circus and support Clowns Without Borders’ upcoming tour to Central America. The evening was filled with bold, surprising, and wonderfully ridiculous physical comedy from Fou Fou Ha!—an ensemble whose sharp timing, contagious energy, and unwavering commitment to the bit kept the room buzzing with laughter.

Events like this are powered by a generous community showing up in different ways. Some gather in the room, raising paddles and laughing side by side. Others—like you—show up month after month, offering steady support that makes all of it possible.

Your monthly gift is part of the same circle of care. It ensures that the energy created in spaces like Portland doesn’t end there—but travels outward, reaching children and families navigating displacement and crisis.

This month’s downloadable wallpaper, photographed by longtime CWB collaborator John Rudoff, captures a glimpse of that shared spirit—joy in motion, held collectively.
