The Drunken Clown Relief Fund was started in March of 2003 when an Ann Arbor, MI philanthropist, upon hearing that a local clown was hungover and couldn't afford to buy his "wake up juice", offered the clown a beer. Since then, we've been on a slow, but increasingly successful, mission to ensure that no clown will go sober. Still working locally, we aspire to one day branch out into other cities and states. Eventually the whole world will rest easy knowing that their clowns will always have that hair-of-the-dog. There are many ways to help. We've recently established our online store, where proceeds will be put towards our effort. Cash donations are always accepted. We are also seeking volunteers to help push our efforts in other communities, and to help spread the word. Frequently Asked Questions Are you a non-profit organization?

This is currently under investigation, but initial reports point to "no". Top More later...
