Ashley Lauren Foundation Raises Money for Pediatric Cancer Support


Dr. Kenneth D. Nahum is a hematologist and oncologist whose career spans three decades. Currently serving patients at Regional Cancer Care Associates in Howell, New Jersey, Dr. Kenneth D. Nahum also supports nonprofit organizations including the Ashley Lauren Foundation for pediatric cancer.

Headquartered in Spring Lake, New Jersey, the Ashley Lauren Foundation aims to support families grappling with pediatric cancer through direct financial, material, and emotional assistance. In addition, the foundation organizes many programs focused on entertaining and delighting children during their hospital stay, such as seasonal parties and a “birthday brigade.” To make its work possible, it holds multiple fundraisers through the year, including an annual ball.

The 2018 ball was held on April 21. Themed “The Fabulous Forties,” the seventh annual event included an auction as well as entertainment by The Ed Conte Orchestra, Andrew Sisters, and Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin impersonators. A 1941 Cadillac Convertible was put on display. The night culminated in an awards ceremony to honor recipients of the annual Hope Award, Humanitarian Award, and Volunteer of the Year Award.
