Ashley Lauren Foundation Brings Joy to Pediatric Cancer Patients


Serving as a hematologist and an oncologist at Regional Cancer Care Associates, LLC, Dr. Kenneth D. Nahum’s medical career spans 30 years. Committed to supporting many non-profit organizations, Kenneth D. Nahum, DO, and his family were honored by the Ashley Lauren Foundation for their longstanding support.

Based in Spring Lake, New Jersey, the Ashley Lauren Foundation aims to make living with cancer somewhat more bearable by bringing joy into the lives of children with cancer. Hospitals whose pediatric patients are serviced by the Foundation include Newark Beth Israel Hospital, Monmouth Medical Center, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia/Voorhees Specialty Care Center.

One of the Foundation’s programs is called Making Dreams Come True, which works to grant the dream-fulfilling wishes of children with cancer. Another patient-centered program is the Birthday Brigade, which delivers balloons, cake, and a gift to children who spend their birthday in the pediatric cancer ward. Additionally, the Foundation organizes fun outings for patients and their families to enjoy together to give them a chance to enjoy normal life outside of the hospital.
