Make-up, (Room #3) Wednesday, April 16, 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm |
Clowning has been a part of my life for over 20 years. What began as an avocation has now become my vocation. As "Fruit" and "Ragamuffin", I have clowned for corporate and private functions, but perhaps the most personally regarding work I do is as a "Smile Specialist" for individuals with special needs and the terminally ill of all ages.
| Some of the professional accomplishments I am most proud of include: | ||
|
Developing a "Clown Therapy Program" at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in conjunction with the Child Life staff (1990) | |
|
Working as a Board Member for Why Me, Inc., a non-profit organization established in 1985 to provide emotional and financial support services to area children with cancer and their families (1992 - present) | |
|
Developing and implementing an annual "Clown Clinic" for children with cancer (1992 - present) | |
|
