Variety International over the past 75 years.

Our mission is to aid and enhance the lives of children in need who may be challenged by physical and/or mental disabilities, poverty, abuse or neglect.

The vernacular of the circus is employed in the Variety structure with the clubs often called "Tents" and the members "Barkers" since the first fundraising affair in Pittsburgh used the circus motif and was held under a "Big Top" tent with a sawdust floor.

Following the tradition of the founders of the first Tent in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 80% of the members of Tent 21 currently are from the Motion Picture Industry, though membership is open to all who care about children.
