What is Races for Faces?

For almost a decade, myFace has organized an annual walk called Races for Faces - one of our most important fundraising and outreach events of the year. It has traditionally been offered as an in-person 5k walk, allowing us to mobilize and bring together a diverse community of hundreds of individuals, including patients, families, friends, students, colleagues, corporations, philanthropists and community advocates. ​

However, these challenging times call for a new approach, and this year we're taking this walk VIRTUAL! 
We will be hosting a virtual program that will be streamed online Saturday, September 26th featuring myFace performers, celebrity supporters, and Races for Faces participants from across the country. There will also be a silent auction leading up to the event with some incredible items and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

By taking myFace Races for Faces to a virtual platform, 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 in the lives of those with craniofacial differences.

Last year, we raised more than $175,000 with 600+ participants and 52 teams.
This year, with your help, we aim to exceed our goal!

Why We Walk

Every hour a child is born in the United States with a craniofacial condition. 95% of them will undergo multiple surgeries and long-term medical care throughout their childhood and into their adult life. Each year, the faces of another 100,000 individuals are disfigured through accident or disease.

Having a facial difference can impede the basic functions a child needs to survive and grow, such as eating, hearing and vision. Patients not only have to deal with the physical effects of their condition, but the challenging emotional impact as well, which can often result in feelings of isolation, discrimination, and low self-esteem.

More than 70% of the patients myFace treats are low-income and, although some form of health insurance such as Medicaid, has become more accessible for these low-income families, many procedures and treatment plans are not covered by insurance. myFace helps all craniofacial patients, regardless of the type or severity of the anomaly, length of treatment or the family’s financial situation.
