Celebrate Life with Laughter and Inspiration
"Their act was as entertaining as anything I've seen at a Minnie Pearl retreat (and that's saying quite a lot). Tremendously inspiring, impressive, and amusing." - Event Participant
"Absolutely fabulous show today at the Celebration of Life at Nashville General Hospital. Your performances brought the child in my heart out to play with you in the air. What a gift of laughter and joy you brought! It was a truly magical experience. Thank you so very much!
- Susan Benting, 3rd Year Breast Cancer Survivor.

Juggling Workshop for Cancer Survivors - An Interactive Metaphor for Handling the Challenges in Front of You
"I so enjoyed the jugglers! They were entertaining as well as presenting a message that we are never given anything that we can’t handle by God. Juggling life, cancer, loved ones is truly a struggle and I believe that everyone else enjoyed as well." - Event Participant
