My son Nico was born with a cleft lip. We were so blessed to have the support and care for Nico at CHOP. Although we were able to have his surgery at a very young age, many do not have that opportunity.
For that reason we host a yearly fundraiser for Smile Train to help provide smiles to children in need. Smile Train is an international children’s charity with a sustainable approach to a single, solvable problem: cleft lip and palate.
DONATIONS
$10 donation or more = a personalized train will be hung in the studio
$25 donation or more = complimentary online class
$50 donation or more = complimentary in studio class (excluding bungee)
$75 donation or more = complimentary week of in studio classes (excluding bungee)
$100 donation or more = complimentary week of in studio classes with one bungee class
Many children with clefts around the world live in isolation, but more importantly, have difficulty eating, breathing, hearing, and speaking. Cleft surgery is simple, and the transformation is immediate. Smile Train’s sustainable model provides training, funding, and resources to empower local doctors in 70+ countries to provide 100%-free cleft surgery and comprehensive cleft care in their own communities.
Thank you for supporting our fundraiser with Smile Train – together we can change the world one smile at a time!
