Payasos que se Preocupan

Los payasos que se preocupan están compuestos por más de 30 mujeres seleccionadas de nuestra comunidad que dedican su tiempo a ayudar a los demás.

Son conocidos y reconocidos tanto a nivel nacional y local por sus esfuerzos incansables y compasivos para los niños del Hospital Pediátrico Driscoll.

Puede que no reconozca a Chris Adler, Nelda Martínez, o Mary Ann Sinclair en sus trajes de payaso pero sí reconocerá su amabilidad. Estas mujeres maravillosas han ofrecido más de 14.000 horas como voluntarias desde que comenzaron a hacer de payaso en 1997 en el Hospital Pediátrico Driscoll, haciendo que las caras de los pacientes, padres y personal sonrían.

Empresas locales, incluyendo el American Bank han patrocinado la donación de juguetes para los pacientes.

Puede que hayan visto los Payasos que se Preocupan en una edición de la Revista Family Circle o en el CBS Morning Show con base en Nueva York o en "Tha Caller Times", o en cualquier estación de noticias locales.

Los payasos que se preocupan han recibido una proclamación del alcalde de Corpus Christi.

El Hospital Pediátrico Driscoll es afortunado de tener este increíble grupo de damas como parte de voluntarios hace 14 años y continúan haciendolo.

¡No hay ningún "payaseo" alrededor cuando se trata a estas mujeres con los zapatos grandes!
