Jeannie Lindheim's Hospital Clown Troupe is a nonprofit

Up to 75 percent of the funds raised by this organization return

local breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment programs. Remaining net income (a minimum of 25 percent) supports the Komen Foundation Award and Research Grant Program, which funds groundbreaking breast cancer research, meritorious awards and educational and scientific programs around the world.
