Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus will also donate $20,000 to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta to support local pediatric patients and raise awareness of the national cancer research being conducted by Dr. Joshua Schiffman from Salt Lake City’s Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital, who is studying DNA from Ringling Bros. elephants and comparing it to DNA from his patients with cancer. Scientists are studying why there is such a low incidence of cancer in elephants, what makes this cancer resistance possible in elephants and not in humans, and how this may correlate to new treatments for pediatric cancers.

Additional information on Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus and the Ringling Bros. Center for Elephant Conservation, the partnership and information on how families can donate to the research can be found online at www.ringling.com and www.ringlingelephantcenter.com.
