From November 29 - December 28, 2022, Face the Future campaigned to raise funds to purchase toys for patients at the University of Illinois Craniofacial Center. We are pleased to announce that we raised over $15,000 to purchase toys and they will be distributed throughout the year for birthdays, holidays and following clinic and surgery appointments.
Thank you to everyone who donated . Your gift will truly bring joy and smiles to patients!
Face the Future Foundation partnered with Ralph Lauren on Michigan Avenue for their annual "Summer Shop Til You Drop!" event, held on August 18th-21st. Fifteen percent of full-price, pre-taxed purchases made by customers shopping on behalf of Face the Future were donated, raising more than $5,000 to support The University of Illinois Craniofacial Center. Face the Future believes that “every child with craniofacial differences can live a confident, joyful and fulfilling life”.
On October 20th more than 150 guests gathered for Face the Future Foundation’s Endless Summer Event. This was the first in person event held by The Foundation since February 2020. The evening raised more than $130,000 to help support the work accomplished at The University of Illinois Craniofacial Center. The evening was complete with delectable cuisine, raffle prizes, live auction trips to Tuscany and Ireland, and a paddle raise.
Funds from this event have been allocated to purchase a 3D oral scanner for infants at The Center. Contributions to The Foundation are essential to the level of care for many families that have been economically impacted by Covid, and worried if their children would be able to continue with the treatments they need.
