This is a post for readers in the Washington DC area who might want to take their kids to the circus. You can buy discounted tickets for the Premiere Night of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus and help out the charity Friends of the Clinical Center and NIH Charities.
Friends of the Clinical Center is a charity that raises money to help patients with unexpected or unusual needs while being treated at the NIH. It might be that they had to stay longer than expected and thus need help with bills back home. It might be that something happened and a relative needs to be flown in unexpectedly. They work to fill in the gaps that sometimes the government can’t fill. NIH Charities helps to buy things like items needed at the Children’s Inn at NIH, among many other things.
If you’re interested, Premiere Night is Wednesday, March 26, 2008 and the circus is being held at the Verizon Center. At 6:00 pm there will be a special hour of hands-on interaction with circus performers, and then the show is at 7:00 pm. Discounted tickets are $20 (regular price is $27).
I can’t post the order form here – but you can call Heidi Grolig at (301) 402-0193, or e-mail: groligh@mail.nih.gov.
The Clinical Center is the hospital where we stay while at NIH. It’s a place dear to many an HPS’ers heart.
