Dear Friends,

My name is Greg DeSanto, and I am so proud to be a caretaker of clown history. The Clown Hall of Fame is a passion of mine and we could really use your help.

This year has been a mix of great attendance of guests, who explored the collection of some of the greatest clowns on earth, outstanding positive reviews, notable donations of historic items, and in the reality column, serious financial challenges that we are working hard to overcome.

Our duel goals have always been to assemble, preserve and exhibit the rarest artifacts of the clown craft and become financially sustainable as we move forward. We need to be successful at both.

2026 will be the 40th anniversary of the founding of the ICHOF. We are in the process of acquiring 3 major historical collections that will elevate the ICHOF as the premier depository of clown artifacts, as well as increasing visibility to researchers as the go to stop for one of a kind information and unique holdings.

To ensure this goal we need your help.

This organization plays a vital role in preserving the rich history of clowning and the joy it brings to our lives. By contributing to this cause, we can help keep the spirit of laughter alive for generations to come.

Your generous donations will directly support the ICHOF’s ongoing work in meaningful ways, such as:

Your gift will help us maintain stability in the short term and allow our Board of Directors to continue working towards a financial plan to ensure fiscal responsibility and explore new opportunities to grow our mission as an organization.

The ICHOF is very aware of the many organizations and causes out there asking for your help. It is our hope that you see our commitment to this artform and history as something you believe in and wish to join us and see it continue for generations to come.

We are humbled to share this with you and thank you for your generosity. The world needs clowns and laughter more than ever and we are grateful to shine a positive light on this thing we do called clowning.
