Feld Entertainment’s charitable contributions build on the strengths and values of the company. Whether it is in youth and education, civic and human services, or animal care and conservation, Feld Entertainment Inc., strives to be an exemplary corporate citizen.
In each community that Feld Entertainment visits, the company gives contributions whether cash or in-kind, to organizations that assist underserved individuals.
“Our productions create memories, stimulate the imagination and touch the heart.” – Kenneth Feld, Chairman and CEO
Since 2003, close to $5.5 million in tickets have been donated to numerous non-profit youth organizations across the country thus providing over 330,000 underserved children the opportunity to attend our live entertainment productions and performances of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Circus, Disney On Ice and Disney Live!
Feld Entertainment is very involved in outreach bringing performers to local hospitals, schools and libraries in almost every community visited to help put smiles on the faces of children who do not have the means to attend a performance.
Feld Entertainment is proud to support a host of charities including the Ronald McDonald House Charities, the American Red Cross, Girl Scouts of the USA, the Special Olympics, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Head Start, Big Brothers/Big Sisters and the YMCA, just to name a few.
Feld Entertainment also partners with service organizations such as Ticketmaster’s Tix for Tots, Community Access Ticket Service and Tickets for Kids Charities contributing over 25,000 tickets to disadvantaged individuals throughout the country.
Feld Entertainment contributed tickets supporting Tampa General Hospital Foundation’s 15th Annual Night at the Circus which allowed more than 1,000 children to see the Ringling Bros. all-new 136th Edition.
Feld Entertainment is a regular participant in the Toys for Tots drive, donating over $7 million worth of toys to children in need throughout the country, including more than 30,000 toys in 2005. In addition to the substantial annual gift Feld Entertainment donates to Toys for Tots, the company has worked with “The Today Show” toy drive, which benefits organizations like the Boys & Girls Clubs on military bases and the Children’s Aid Society in New York City.
Continuing its commitment to the community, in 2005 Feld Entertainment donated $100,000 to The American Red Cross for rescue and relief efforts for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
In 2005, Ringling Bros. announced a $180,000 gift to the Smithsonian Institution's National Zoological Park to support research on endotheliotropic herpes viruses (EEHV) -- the single greatest health threat to the Asian elephant today.
Ringling Bros. also expanded the company’s long-standing relationship with the military by becoming an Official Team Member of America Supports You. This partnership allows the company to broaden its support with special recognition of military members during a performance and provides families with special ticket offers.
