The Foundation for Faces of Children is a New England-based, not for profit organization, providing clear, accurate information and other educational resources to children born with craniofacial conditions and their families.

Today, the Foundation's mission has expanded to address not only medical concerns, but also psychosocial, financial, and educational issues related to craniofacial conditions. To achieve this, FFC collaborates with leading specialists to provide accurate, up-to-date information for patients and parents regionally, nationally, and internationally. The Foundation is 100% reliant on private donations for funding. This Walk’s annual success guarantees the continuation of our mission.
