Mom’s Choice Awards® alumni are some of the most giving, thoughtful people you’ll ever meet. Brian G. Orr, MD, of Cape Ann Pediatricians in Gloucester, Massachusetts, is one of those people.
In 2009, Dr. Orr won a Silver in the Health, Nutrition, Fitness and Safety category for his book A Pediatrician’s Journal: Caring for Children in a Broken Medical System
He is also a passionate advocate for Friends of the Orphans (aka FriendsUS) a non-profit organization that supports nine orphanages in Latin America, South America, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. To celebrate his birthday on 10/10/10, he hopes to celebrate it with all of the children FriendsUS support. From the Friends website:
More than anything for his birthday, he wants donations to go to Friends of the Orphans to help the children of Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH, Spanish for “Our Little Brothers and Sisters”). His goal is to have 10 x 10 x 10 people (1,000 total!) each contribute $10 by 10-10-10. Meeting that goal would mean $10,000!
