Coming Soon – Great Cycle Challenge

Thursday, September 1 to Friday, September 30

ONE MONTH. ONE GOAL. FIGHT KIDS’ CANCER.
This September, we’re riding to end childhood cancer and save little lives.

Every hill we climb and every mile we pedal will be to honor those lives we’ve lost and stand with those brave kids still fighting to survive. These kids won’t give up, and neither will we.

Our goal is to fund life-saving research to develop safer and more effective treatments, and find cures for all childhood cancers.

Because kids should be living life, NOT fighting for it.

Party Digest’s Chuck Gregory will be riding for the third year in a row. Stay tuned for updates on fundraising and riding goals.

Sliders – Neptune Beach

Catching up – 30th anniversary was in 2021 but Covid interfered with the celebration.

We document strandings for the Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network, and transport debilitated turtles to rehab facilities.

We proudly serve the beaches as a 501(c)(3) award-winning, non-profit organization.

Katie Holmes & Jessica Alba Love Their HARMIN Bags

Since December, Katie Holmes has been spotted all over NYC wearing an oversized khaki + white carryall from HARMIN (Sidekick, $1195), which she received as a gift from her boyfriend, Emilio Vitolo Jr. This piece is the perfect transitional bag going into the warmer seasons.

Jessica Alba, a huge supporter of brands with good causes, recently posted a different style from the HARMIN collection — Curbside, $1495, a lightweight weekender duffle in khaki + black — on her Instagram story, saying, “every purchase benefits @bisousforleo.”

Bisous for Leo is an ancillary arm of the INADcure Foundation, supported by everyone from Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Gal Gadot to Sebastian Stan and Sissy Spacek. A HARMIN purchase makes an automatic donation.

Circus Harmony Interactive Cookbook

Circus Harmony is taking it into the kitchen! The flying children of Circus Harmony are combining the daring with the delicious to create a digital cookbook and videos that will feature over 40 favorite family recipes from breakfast to desserts for all tastes and diets! Each delicious dish accompanied by some flipping, flying, and flinging! Each delicious dish will be paired with an exciting circus act.

This is our most appetizing and amusing show ever! This Circus Harmony Cookbook & Show is due to be released on this page, on March 16, 2021, to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the St. Louis lockdown.

Motivation is hard in the middle of a pandemic. When we asked our students what motivated them, there was a unanimous agreement that food is a great motivator. Also, during the pandemic, all our families have been cooking more. Thus the Circus Harmony Interactive Cookbook was born. The Circus Harmony Interactive Cookbook will be a digital book where you can actually turn the pages and, on each page, will be a recipe and an accompanying video. What dish pairs best with contortion, with juggling, or with trapeze? What is the famous shrimp stir fry recipe and who will be the shrimp? Can a taco ride a unicycle?

To sponsor this creative, culinary endeavor or for more information contact the head chef of Circus Harmony, Jessica Hentoff at 314-226-3633 or circusday@circusharmony.org.
