Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey and Chick-fil-A Atlanta are inviting "clowns" of all ages to pie themselves (and others) to raise money for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. People can make a pie using shaving or whipped cream, take a video, and then post the video on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or YouTube using #GetPiedforCHOA and #ringlingbros. After getting involved in the fun of getting pied and raising awareness for Children's, participants are also asked to make a donation.

Chick-fil-A Atlanta will support "Pie for Patients" by donating $5,000 to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
