Hearts & Noses Hospital Clown Troupe is grateful to the dedicated foundations and individual donors whose contributions make it possible for us to visit more ill and disabled children in our partner hospitals throughout Greater Boston every year.

Your dollars will make it possible for us to:

  • Visit more children at the bedside at our partner hospitals, Boston Medical Center, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, Franciscan Children’s, Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center and MassGeneral Hospital for Children;
  • Provide professional training to more clowns to grow our Troupe;
  • Expand our programs at our partner hospitals and beyond; and
  • Add new training possibilities through both national and international hospital clown programs.

By letting each child choose how to engage and play, we empower hospitalized children and open the door to healing.

Thank you for making a difference to more children and families.
