 Members from the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus held a private performance for pediatric patients and their families at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. Performers dazzled patients by performing juggling, jump rope, and comedic acts in the base gymnasium. After the performance, the ringmaster presented Captain Darren Villa, commanding officer of NMCP, a donation of $10,000 on behalf of the circus. The circus will be raising awareness for national cancer research to help develop new treatments for pediatric patients. The circus held another performance honoring NMCP and invited 100 special hospital guests to attend. NMCP is one of 50 hospitals across the country to receive a donation from the circus as they travel to different cities throughout the year.
