Cleft Family Picnic

We are excited to celebrate our children born with cleft lip, palate, and other craniofacial differences at our first picnic! Where kids can do what they do best: have fun. Where parents can connect with others on a similar journey. Where new friendships begin!

Ramada 1 is ADA Accessible, has electrical outlets, 2 picnic tables, lights, BBQ grills, a drinking fountain, attached bathrooms, and is right next to the playground.  

As there are only two picnic tables available, families should plan to bring chairs/picnic blankets. 

Light snacks will be provided.

Register by Friday, October 9th

***Registration for this event is now closed***
