Traveling
Hospital Clown Program
If
you, a friend or a family member had a sick or chronically
ill child on a long hospital stay wouldn't it be wonderful
to see a pair or trio of "fun-loving-jovial"
clowns visit your loved one to help brighten their day;
helping to alleviate the loneliness & boredom they might
be experiencing while being away from home.

Another
way of becoming a Friend of DOC MAGIC, that appeals to many
donors, is to cover the basic cost of one or several days of
clowning for patients, i.e. $600 a day. We can inform you of
the chosen dates by email, so that you know exactly which
day you have made brighter for a hospital patient. If you
wish, we can post your name and the date(s) on our website
and include a dedication or an in memoriam. We will of
course, be happy to receive the gift of a part of a day of
clowning too -- any donation at all will be gratefully
accepted.

Where
Do We Go From Here
DOC
MAGIC has many visions for the future. We are attempting to
trademark our name and move toward national and state
recognition.
Secondly,
we are working on developing proposals for major financial
grants to hire a full-time staff to run the group. Until we
do, your support/donations are needed.
DM
wishes to create a network of "on-call" clowns to
travel to various hospitals, nursing homes, detention
centers, and homeless shelters; and provide laughter to
those that need it most when they need it the most.
With
the proper grants, DM would like to travel from hospital to
orphanage throughout South America & the World.
Your
contribution today will help us immediately reach more
children in more hospitals. With enough funding, we can
expand to sending clown doctors in homes for terminally ill
children who are spending their final days with family.
