We’re back on campus for our 3rd annual event, but instead of our Smile Stands, we’re hosting lunch for a cause. Amazing local vendors—Sushioki, NuvoTaco, Ninth Street Bakery and many more—have partnered with us for a day full of fun! Order your lunch now!

Due to Covid visitor restrictions, lunch is only available to Duke staff, students and those patients and families at Duke with a scheduled medical appointment on Oct 1.

We still need your support for our annual fundraiser! Please consider donating to make our campaign a huge success and ensure future events for everyone to participate in!

Fundraising Goal

Patient Highlight

We are elated to introduce Violet Ake, a Duke patient, who wrote and illustrated our new book “Cleft and Craniofacial Team Days”, now available on Amazon!

In the book, Violet tells kids all about their annual visit with a multidisciplinary cleft and craniofacial team. Her hope is to make Team visits “not scary, but sort of fun.” She even wrote a glossary!

This was an amazing collaboration between a patient, her family, her medical providers and a mission to advocate for and empower people with a cleft and craniofacial background while advancing the research, education and care for these conditions.

Violet has donated 100% of the proceeds from this book to Smile Together and the Duke Cleft and Craniofacial Center!!  Get yours today!
