Hi Friends!
As someone who was born with a cleft lip and palate- I personally understand the impact of team care! Team care makes a HUGE difference! Receiving team care changed my life!
I have also been on the other side as a provider and leader of a team. I have seen the team care change the lives of thousands of kids, adults and families!
The American Cleft Palate Craniofacial Association is the primary organization that has shaped cleft and craniofacial team care as we know and appreciate it to be!
Join me in supporting the American Cleft Palate Craniofacial Association during National Cleft and Craniofacial Awareness Month. I'll be participating in their 60 mile run/walk challenge during July to raise awareness and support for ACPA. Your donation will help provide funding for ACPA programs and services that support patients affected by cleft and craniofacial conditions, their families, and the professionals who provide their care.
With your help, ACPA can:
-
Ensure college scholarships are available to students born with cleft and craniofacial conditions for years to come. At the current rate of funding the Randall/LaRossa Fund will run out in seven years.
-
Update and expand family resources to include additional diagnosis and treatment information and translate them into additional languages to ensure all patients and families have access to the information they need.
-
Expand professional scholarships to include additional disciplines to ensure all cleft and craniofacial professionals have access to the latest research and clinical innovations, and the opportunity to attend ACPA’s Annual Meeting which provides accredited continuing education.
