A positive, immediate and tangible impact
Over the years, the positive impact of our presence has been demonstrated in
pediatric hospitals and long-term care facilities.
Today, we also provide thousands of successful therapeutic interventions for
students with multiple disabilities, children with autism or mental health issues and
adults in palliative care. Our visits are eagerly awaited in new healthcare
environments. All that is missing is the funding to allow them to be able to benefit
from the immediate positive impact of our presence.
Our approach is based on societal values of caring, respect and joy, which are
also shared by health and education professionals.
Becoming a partner of the Imaginary Ball means making a direct contribution to
the mission of the foundation. It’s a great way to ensure the continuity of our
programs, while helping us chart a course in the development of new clientele and
areas of intervention.
Thank you for helping to make a real difference in the lives of the people who
receive visits from our therapeutic clowns !
