Our Mission

Imagine making the world a better, safer one, by promoting children’s safety and reaching at-risk children through the power of art…

That is what is happening when the Pediatric Associates Foundation Board of Directors was approached to join forces with the super talented and world-renowned artist, Mr. Alexander Mijares last year.

In March, Alexander Mijares and a group of pediatric doctors took the formal step of teaming up to raise funds for our children in Florida in some very creative ways.

Beyond his success professionally, Mijares has made it his life’s mission to use his artistic talent to give back to the community by remaining an active philanthropist. When given the option to create his own philanthropic foundation, Alex asked what about teaming up with a group that already does this?

Since those early discussions, it made sense for the two to collaborate to better help advocate and serve and reach youth through the power of art and advocacy that they simple could not do with as much impact separately. In short, they both recognized there is power in togetherness!

The new organization will be known as the Pediatric Angel Foundation keeping the PAF acronym while focusing on the ‘good’ of their work with children in need.

The new Angelic concept allows for a rebrand and was inspired by a vision from Alexander’s travels internationally in his work with kids who have few resources and from teaching them the power of self-expression through art in many remote areas.

Alexander Mijares, joined by his wife Greta, and the pediatric physicians are excited to announce this merger of two committed forces for ‘good’ that seek to advocate for children’s safety issues, raise awareness for at-risk youth, and promote self-expression for traumatized children through the power of art.
