In addition to practicing as an orthopaedic surgeon with
Philadelphia Orthopaedic Associates, Andrew Collier, MD, holds teaching
affiliations at Thomas Jefferson University and the Philadelphia College
of Osteopathic Medicine. A father of five children, Andrew Collier, MD,
contributes financially to the Holt International Children’s Services
adoption agency.
Incorporated in 1956, the Holt International
Children’s Services began when Harry and Beth Holt wanted to adopt eight
Korean children but learned they would need to get the Houses of
Congress to pass special laws. They worked tirelessly to find homes for
children and financed the organization through their own funds. Today,
the agency has found homes for almost 40,000 children.
During the
year, Holt International hosts fundraising events, with one scheduled
for November 14, 2015. Its annual gala and dinner auction in Omaha,
Nebraska, benefits children and families scattered across the globe.
Attendees can bid on auction items and enjoy a program that highlights
adoption. Proceeds from the event will support children and families
with counseling, education, nutrition, and financial support services.
