Our mission is to raise funds to provide necessities for children in need of cleft palate reconstructive surgeries.

We donate 100% of proceeds to the David Hoffman Memorial Fund, a foundation set up by the Cleft Team to provide funds for expenses for patients and families. These expenses may include cleft palate reconstructive procedures, dental implants, money for gas, hotels, picnics (patients are given the opportunity to meet other children with cleft palates), teen lunches (lunches specifically for teen cleft palate patients), and other costs suggested by the Cleft Team.

Check out our website:

6th Annual Autism Awareness Walk and Family Fun Day Saturday, April 2nd, 2016 10am to 2pm at the Lakeview Regional Medical Center 95 Judge Tanner Blvd, Covington, LA 70433

All proceeds will benefit SOAR and help support autism centers on the Northshore. The centers provide therapeutic services to individuals with an autism spectrum disorder. Families depend on your support of SOAR for us to provide valuable resources that are so scarce in our community. Come out and join the fun for a great cause!
