Circus donates $10,000 to CHKD

Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus is donating $10,000 to Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters to support local patients.

Circus clowns paid young patients a visit at CHKD on Friday morning.

NORFOLK, Va. (WVEC) -- You can see the circus this weekend at Norfolk Scope, but on Friday, the circus came to the Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters to bring smiles and laughs for many of its patients.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus presented CHKD with a check for $10,000 to support local patients.

“At Ringling Bros., we focus on entertaining families and giving back to the communities where we perform every week. In addition to the financial contributions made by Ringling Bros., Norfolk Scope will join us in bringing our performers directly to CHKD to entertain families who aren’t able to make it to the show,” said Alana Feld, executive vice president of Feld Entertainment and producer of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey.
