"The Circle of Life" is more than just a song to us; it’s a metaphor for the community we’ve built at SPHERE over the last 39 years. 🦁
We believe that every individual has a vital role to play, and our upcoming production of The Lion King at The Ridgefield Playhouse is the ultimate celebration of that belonging. While our main seats are officially sold out, the journey to the stage is still in motion, and we need your help to bring this story to life!
How you can join the "Circle" and support our members:
🔹 Underwriting Sponsorships: Help us cover event costs so every dollar raised goes directly to our life-changing programs.
🔹 Auction Donations: Contribute a unique item or experience to our event auction.
🔹 Program Advertising: Promote your business in our Program Book and show your support for inclusive arts!
Your generosity ensures our members have the tools they need to shine. 🌟
