Mission Statement

We want to let people know that they are special, that they mean something to someone, and that they are not just a nameless patient. We do this because we want to and because we care. And what better way to put a smile on someone's face than by clowning around? Clowning Around Baltimore: Making Baltimore Smile One Nose At A Time. We hope to visit and play with children in pediatric wards at hospitals in the city of Baltimore in an effort to improve the emotional quality of the patients' hospital stay.

Clowning Around Baltimore is all about giving back to the community and providing opportunities for Johns Hopkins students to do so. We go on trips to the local Ronald McDonald House, the Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital and the Project Prevent Health Fair in the spring. We dress up as clowns and visit these places in an effort to brighten up the lives of sick children and their parents, but we also have tons of fun while doing it! We hope to expand the volunteering opportunities we offer soon, and we invite anyone interested to come along!
