Headliner

The North Carolina Polka Time Allstars feature the finest polka music played by the finest polka people!

Based in Durham, NC, the group is directed by William Dawson (proud lifetime member of The International Polka Association), who grew up with a passion for polka in the polka-loving town of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Impact

This fun kid-friendly event will support cleft and craniofacial research, education and patient care.  We strive to create a world where all barriers associated with cleft and craniofacial conditions are eliminated and children can achieve their full potential.

Our partnership with Duke furthers our collaborative mission to promote positive change and advocate for the cleft and craniofacial community in order to eliminate stigma and empower people with a cleft and craniofacial background.

We enjoyed being a part of it so much and it is certainly a day we will never forget.
