The American Society of Plastic Surgeons/The Plastic Surgery Foundation’s Frames for Fresh Start event will benefit Fresh Start Caring For Kids Foundation. The event will be held on Monday, October 13, 2014 at Lucky Strike Chicago (River East Center, 322 E. Illinois Street, Chicago, IL 60611) from 7:00pm to 10:00pm. The majority of the event attendees will be physicians and other medical professionals. The event will serve as a vehicle to raise much-needed funds to support Fresh Start Caring For Kids Foundation’s efforts in Chicago and to increase the awareness of its services.

Fresh Start Surgical Gifts (based in San Diego, California) has teamed up with the Plastic Surgery Foundation to create Fresh Start Caring For Kids Foundation in Chicago. The mission of the organization is to transform the lives of disadvantaged infants, children, and teens suffering from physical deformities caused by birth defects, accidents, abuse, or disease through the gift of reconstructive surgery and related healthcare services. In Fresh Start's 20+ -year history, more than 6,500 patients have received more than 15,000 no-cost medical treatments valued at more than $26 million. The addition of the Chicago site is enabling the organization grow its patient base and outreach.
