It's National Humor Month!!!
Let's fundraise while having fun!
Laughter League is a national nonprofit organization focused on engaging and empowering through laughter, and National Humor Month is the perfect time for you to donate and support Laughter League.
Laughter League's professional performers create moments of levity and healing in healthcare environments all over the country, empowering patients and emboldening hope.
This month, we’ll be posting a bevy of silly content across our platforms to bring laughter to You, our supporters. We hope to share a glimpse of the transformational power of laughter while fundraising. Help us uplift patients, families and staff in Pediatric Hospitals and Memory Care Facilities, through the art of clowning and the variety arts, have a giggle, and know your tax-deductible donation supports crucial, unique work. Your donations will go towards keeping our artistic and administrative mission going strong, nationwide.
With more donations, our patients win – more resources mean more laughter! Thank you for your support. Help Laughter League Dalla/Fort Worth fundraise during Humor Month!
At Cook Children’s Hospital Laughter League is present 5 full days a week, including at Urgent Care and in the Emergency Department. In direct collaboration with the Child Life Department, Laughter League has a strong presence in dialysis, oncology, neurology, ICU and PHP. Every unit in the hospital is visited at least once a week. The clowns visit the PHP every Thursday for the entire morning and spend time in all three milieus of the outpatient side as well as for the inpatient psych unit patients. LL collaborates with the CLZTV studio to develop and create content all year, including a series called "On the Nose". The team presents a quarterly variety show in the atrium for patients and families. As well, it is this hospital which helps facilitate LL's presence at Camp John Marc.
Laughter League continues to partner with Camp John Marc, a camp for kids with chronic health conditions. Each summer, we have a team of clowns present for multiple weeks of camp including Camp Sanguinity (oncology), Camp Reynal (renal), Camp I Thonka Chi (burn survivors) and Camp Broncho (asthma). Our team of 'Bumbles' are camp comics, appearing all over camp as different fun characters, interacting with the kids and serving as distractions when kids are having tough times at camp. Additionally, the Bumbles teach comedy and circus class all week and even lead 6-10 kids in their own circus and comedy project each week at the end of the camp.
