The unknown lady who was selling noses in support of Dr Klown has come forward and was found to be doing the fundraising in good faith and provided proof of this, although we were not aware of the activity, the organisation said in a statement.
Dr Klown said that "we do have authorised fund raising personnel who carry an official Dr Klown tag and offer red noses at the entrance of Mater Dei Hospital, home to Dr Klown, as well as during official Dr Klown events. Also the participants of the Miss World Malta 2018 competition are officially raising funds through red noses for Dr Klown NGO as part of their "Beauty with a Purpose" challenge. They have been doing so for the 4th consecutive year, being a major contributor to our cause.
We do thank all who donate to Dr Klown, and urge them continue to do so, only to authorised personnel or by following the instructions on www.drklown.org

A shop owner in Paola, who is familiar with Dr Klown, has reported to the organisation that a woman is asking for donations against red foam clown noses on behalf of Dr Klown.
This is not one of our volunteers, the organisation said. “We not raise funds going from door to door or shop to shop.” Dr Klown only engages in organised fund-raising activities and events.
