About Races for Faces
myFace Races for Faces is an important fundraising event, traditionally offered as an in-person walk, that allows us to mobilize and bring together a diverse community of hundreds of people like YOU, including patients, families, friends, students, colleagues, corporations and community advocates.
By participating in myFace Races for Faces, you can help raise awareness for children and adults with craniofacial differences.
The beauty of taking myFace Races for Faces to a virtual platform is that now EVERYONE across the nation can join us as we create and celebrate an environment where we all can feel safe, hopeful and empowered – and come together in solidarity to know we collectively have the capacity to make a difference.
Thank you for helping us exceed our goal.
All funds raised go to support our mission of changing faces – and transforming lives – through the unique comprehensive care we deliver through our medical, dental, speech, nutrition and psychosocial services.
You can still make a gift to support our mission!

I’m having audio issues!
Very sorry to hear you’re having audio issues. The broadcast is working properly, so first, please make sure your computer’s audio is not on mute. If you are wearing headphones, try unplugging and replugging them in. Next, check to see if the video itself is unmuted – bring your cursor over to the video and on the bottom left corner there is a small speaker icon. If there is a slash through it, click it once to unmute the video. If you are still having issues, please try refreshing or restarting your browser.
Is this Live?
You bet! Some portions, including performances, were recorded ahead of time for quality.

The event begins at 10:00 am ET and will last for about 1 hour.
I need to leave and come back, can I pause this?
