Last Friday, employees supported the Clown Doctors by dressing up as clowns and doctors and raising much-needed funds.
Clown Doctors is the core program of The Humour Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation that provides medical clowns to sick children in hospital, treating them with a different kind of medicine – fun and laughter. Clown Doctors is CommBank Foundation’s National Community Grant recipient for 2017-2020.
The not-for-profit is receiving $1.2 million over three years through the generosity of more than 13,000 Commonwealth Bank employees who regularly donate a portion of their salary.
“We’ve been supporting the Clown Doctors for more than 19 years, and it’s a cause our team is very passionate about,” Bathurst Commonwealth Bank branch manager Anthony Rosewarn said.
“Through our fundraising day, we hope to help Clown Doctors achieve their goal of providing more Clown Rounds in hospitals across Australia.
“We look forward to welcoming the community to join us in our branch to share some laughs and make a donation.”
Clown Doctors CEO Tony Warner said: “We’re so grateful to CommBank and the community for their support in raising much needed funds to help Clown Doctors uplift and empower sick children, their parents and hospital staff.”
