Customized Gala Masks from Angels for Allison

Angels for Allison

The Allison Brundick Haramis Foundation, Angels for Allison, is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in memory of 15-year old Allison Haramis, who was tragically killed in an auto accident in April of 2009.

Her family and friends wanted to create a living legacy of her joyous spirit by giving back to those in need, specifically by aiding with the financial needs of families who are suffering with the loss of a child. We have created a community-based art program to paint and sell brightly colored metal angels to support the mission of the Foundation.

Angels for Allison believes that through a community painting project like ours, we can pool our resources and provide help.

While partnering with 15 Jacksonville area schools and hundreds of volunteers with our painting project, we pool our community resources of time and talent to come to the aid of families in need who have lost a child.

Support Angels for Allison by Ordering a Customized Gala Mask painted by local artist.

Brightstart Program

Nemours has a single goal with Nemours BrightStart!: Every Child Becomes a Reader. We recognize this is important for education, but for Nemours, reading is imperative for lifelong health. Nemours has put about $30 million into this program over 12 years. We are now part of the Nemours Center for Health Delivery Innovation, which pulls together all Nemours digital assets for consumers, including our telehealth program, kidshealth.org, and other tools.

Research shows that child health and reading skill are closely linked, and that reading failure is a major child health issue. Did you know that Literacy is the single strongest predictor of adult health status? So while learning to read is clearly an educational issue, it is also imperative for health and for life. That is why Nemours is lending its resources to this cause. That is why Nemours BrightStart! exists.

People who read at lower levels are up to 3 times more likely to have an adverse medical outcome than people who read better (Weiss & Palmer, 2004). Among non-pregnant adult patients on Medicaid, those with a reading level at or below 3rd grade had Medicaid charges over 3.5 times greater than those with higher reading skills.
