Dr. Jon Marashi has lived in Los Angeles for nearly fifteen years. He’s one of the most sought-after dentists in the world. Endearingly known as the “skateboarding dentist,” when he’s not in the office, you can often find Dr. Marashi at a skatepark pursuing his favorite pastime, skateboarding. Dr. Marashi is also passionate about philanthropy. Over the years, he has supported many different causes and nonprofit organizations, and believes it’s up to those who can give back to those less fortunate to do so.
He’s currently on the Board of Advocates for The Skateboard Project (formerly called the Tony Hawk Foundation), which helps communities build public skate parks for youth in underserved communities. Dr. Marashi is also involved in the nonprofit Worthy of Love, which throws birthday parties for thousands of children and teens experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles County & Houston, Texas.
Dr. Marashi is also one of the volunteers for the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry Charitable Foundation’s Give Back a Smile program. The organization helps heal some of the most devastating effects of domestic and sexual violence by working with approved cosmetic dentists to restore the smiles of adult women and men who have suffered dental injuries from a former intimate partner, spouse or family member.
In addition, Dr. Marashi has made financial contributions to GiveLove. His friend and client, Patricia Arquette, is the Executive Director of GiveLove, which promotes compost sanitation and aims to improve public health by protecting water resources, restoring soil fertility and creating more resilient communities.
