Join us at our 7th Annual Durham Bulls Baseball Game!
An evening of food, fun and friends celebrating the cleft and craniofacial community.
With a fireworks show after the game!
This event has become a beloved tradition for patients, families, friends and providers across the cleft and craniofacial community. It’s a chance to meet, reconnect and enjoy a summer night at the ballpark together.
This year, we’ve secured the entire Left Field Patio — still fully in the shade — with plenty of space to relax, mingle, and cheer on the Bulls! Grab your tickets and join us on the party deck for an unforgettable evening.
Act fast — this event has sold out for the last 4 years.
Kids, siblings included, will receive a commemorative gift to remember the night. The patio area will feature kids’ activities, a merchandise stand and we always work with the Bulls to coordinate special on-field moments for our amazing patients.
Buffet dinner is included with every ticket. A cash bar will be available for alcohol purchases. Food service runs for two hours, beginning 30 minutes before the first pitch.
And we’re offering two hotel room blocks for families traveling from out of town. More details below!
We’re grateful to share this evening with families from across the region and with many of the cleft and craniofacial teams who care for our patients.
We especially want to highlight our incredible kids. Please register your group using the link below and include the names of your attendees — this helps us prepare gifts, coordinate on‑field activities, and ensure every child is celebrated.
We believe that connecting families, encouraging friendships and facilitating interactions with others who share the same challenges and accomplishments can have a tremendous impact on patients with cleft and craniofacial conditions.
Over the last 6 years, so many patients have connected and friendships have flourished.
Smile Together covers half of every ticket price under its community awareness and outreach program so that all families may join us. Please consider donating more to keep this wonderful program going strong.
This event is so much more than just a baseball game. It’s a destination for families, giving parents an incredible support system and our kids reassurance and strength for everything they go through.
It may be hot during cleft and craniofacial awareness month, but spending an evening surrounded by friends, family, and community always makes it feel a whole lot better.
Our patio section includes plenty of table seating as well as rows of stadium seats overlooking the field. Guests may enjoy the reserved picnic area from the time gates open until the end of the game. And stick around for a fantastic fireworks show!
Purchase one ticket per person. Children 2 years and younger do not require a ticket.
