Twilight Wish Foundation grants the wish of a retired clown
Henry Gagne, a resident of Harbor Chase Senior Living, has a circus party with clowns in the facility to entertain the residents.
Gagne was a professional clown for many years. As he got older, it became more difficult to entertain others.

Up to this day, he still likes to wear his clown suit and clown makeup just to brighten other residents’ days.
Gagne also served in the Navy for 21 years including during the Vietnam War.
He is known in his senior facility as one of the kindest residents, by expressing his love for music and giving little gifts to others.
Gator Clowns and Gagne are collaborating to entertain the residents by making a “big top” party with circus food like cotton candy, Cracker Jacks, animal crackers and more.
Twilight Wish Foundation is a nonprofit organization that has granted over 4,700 wishes to seniors over the age of 65 all over the United States.
