William Zavod Lecture top

Pediatric Dentistry Clinic-Mural top
Children waiting to see a dentist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine’s Pediatric Clinic can now enter an undersea world of imaginary adventures through a new hand-painted mural.

The 17x7 foot mural was developed and donated by Drs. Howard and Kara Fraiman of Bala Cynwyd (both graduates of Penn Dental) in memory of their daughter, Ashley. Penn Dental honored the Fraimans and celebrated this new addition to the Clinic during a dedication ceremony held Thursday, October 15, 2005 in the Clinic’s reception area, where the mural is located.

Vividly colored sea horses, sea turtles and tropical fish of all sorts come to life on the mural, which also features a young girl in a swan-shaped boat flying a flag that reads Ashley’s Angels, the name of the foundation established by the Fraimans in memory of their daughter. Ashley’s Angels has been created to aid special-needs children and their families.

Ashley’s Angels Dental Lecture top
The full day program was hosted at the Park Hyatt-Bellevue Hotel in Philadelphia and attended by over 200 dentists. Drs. David Garber and Henry Salama presented “State of the Art: Implant and Esthetic Dentistry.” The lecture was sponsored by 2 corporate dental partners and rasied over $50,000 from sponsors and participants.

Palliative Care 2004 top
As a result of Monster Mash 2004, Ashley’s Angels gave a gift of $25,000 to CHOP Palliative Care.

Boyds top
On May 10, 2005 Govberg Jewelers joined with Boyds to host a second charity shopping evening with Breast Healthy Institute and Ashley’s Angels. The event featured a fashion show in the new Boyds women’s store, sumptuous cuisine by the Brasserie Perrier Café at Boyds and live music. Boyds and Govberg contributed a portion of each sale from that evening and the week following to both charities.

Monster Mash 2005 top
Last year at Monster Mash 2005 350 people attended and many more contributed. We could not have done it without your support. We donated $40,000 to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in the name of Ashley Faye Fraiman. Ashley succumbed to a debilitating disease several years ago and the money we raise goes to support the Palliative Care unit at CHOP. Palliative care enhances the quality of life for ill and dying children and their families, and allows them to make the most of the time they have together. The money donated the last 2 years has helped the Palliative team at CHOP offer specialized care to gravely ill children and their families that ensured them as much comfort as is possible, guidance, both physical and emotional, at a time that is one of life’s most difficult. Some examples of palliative care are treatment designed to reduce suffering and improve the quality of life remaining for the children and their families; helping families prepare for the possibility of their child’s death; and empowering them with whatever support needed to make important and other very difficult decisions about their child’s care. Coordination of care involving multiple sub-specialists and 24-hour access every day of the year are also specialized services given by the palliative care team at CHOP. Over the past three years, more than 200 children and families have benefited from these services. This support is often not reimbursed by insurance companies and is only possible by donations such as Ashley’s Angels and other private gifts.
