Today we lost our Clown Emeritus: Dr. Gizmo. Tom Pierce was an amazing Mime, one of the original Big Apple Circus Atlanta ClownCare clowns, and a wonderful human being with a gentle soul. We are all better healthcare clowns because of his friendship and tremendous impact that he made on our team! Our thoughts and prayers are with his family! His son Zech sent us a Clown’s Prayer, which Dr. Gizmo lived by! You can read it below and also look at just a few pics of him in action! What a Legacy he leaves behind!

Thanks to the Atlanta Jugglers Association for the use of their wonderful space since two of our clowns are dues paying members. It was a great day of rehearsal!

The 48th Annual Groundhog Day Juggling Festival was held this past weekend in very cold Atlanta!

Happy Ground-HUG day from Laughter League! Phil the groundhog says six more weeks of winter, so make sure you give somebody you love a nice, warm hug today!

Yesterday we worked our final shift at Piedmont Columbus and we are so thankful for the six years that we were there! Had it not been for them, healthcare clowning would not exist in Georgia anymore, like it exists all over our country and in many parts of the World.

We learned many new skills, began visiting adult patient areas, and placed even more focus on staff morale visits during the darkest times of the Pandemic, when we got down to only 8 pediatric beds. You have realize that Columbus is the 2nd largest city in Georgia to truly understand that statistic.

Thankfully we now have a chance to return to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, where we served for twenty years before COVID changed the World. We have to raise the cost of one years’s programming before we can begin though, so if you are not able to donate, please share the link which will be in our first comment. We really need to get more eyes on our FUNraiser!
Happy Thanksgiving!

We are so glad to see the response to our announcement that we have been invited to return to CHOA in 2026, now that the pandemic is over and the big move to the new 19 story tall Arthur Blank Children’s Hospital is complete! The link to donate to our Atlanta Campaign will be in the first comment. Please help us Send in the Clowns!

Drs. Charlie and Tiny, and Shadow of course, had a great time entertaining at this event! Then they visited the pediatric patients in the Hospital that afternoon!

Our newest Clown in Georgia: Dr. Charlie and his cat puppet Shadow were a big hit last Saturday at the Teddy Bear Clinic! Each year the Bill & Olivia Amos Children’s Hospital hosts this educational community outreach event for children to learn about medical procedures in a fun environment! (Over 350 kids and their families were in attendance.)
