Abbott Northwestern Hospital’s Medicine Clinic
December 3rd, 2010
Dr. Ralph and Lindsay Bashioum at the Abbott Northwestern Hospital’s Medicine Ball charity fundraiser in September. Over $500,000 was raised for the community clinic in memory of long-time supporter Mrs. Patricia Jaffray. Pat was a dear friend and this gala in her memory will help fund Abbott’s Medicine Clinic for the surrounding neighborhood. It was our pleasure to attend this special evening.
Social Safari- A Good Cause
October 1st, 2009
Thanks to Jason Deavalon, of Deavalon Salon in Minneapolis, for organizing tonight’s Social Safari. This celebration marks Jason’s 20 years of experience as the premier stylist in the Minneapolis/ St Paul area. Congratulations to Jason!
More importantly, Jason has chosen to make this party a benefit for Smile Network International. Started by Kim Valentini, of Minneapolis,the Smile Network International provides free surgical procedures to disadvantaged children all over the world. The fee for each surgical operation is only $500! Fundraisers like tonight’s event is an important resource to provide support for the mission of this international charity. 100% of tonight’s donations will go to fund their efforts.
Jason describes the benefit and festivities as follows. ” Jason Deavalon dares you (attendees) to walk on you wild side. A naughty night out featuring Bubbly, Baubles, Bidding, Botox ®, and Bashioum.” Having participated on a previous medical mission to Lima, Peru, I know firsthand what a significant change that surgery makes and the amazing hope that is offered for scores of children. He has graciously included me in this event and I am honored to participate. My staff (Sandy and Suzzane) and I will be encouraging $500 donations, enough to sponsor one child for surgery and I will be providing a complimentary consultation in my office, including a 20 unit Botox ® injection as an extra incentive. See you there!
