Smile Oregon
Benefiting Children with Cleft & Craniofacial Conditions We maintain a working board and operate multiple committees. Values:
- No one turned away.
Smile Oregon was founded in 2008 by Bob Blank and Dr. Judah Garfinkle, who brought together a diverse group of local professionals committed to improving care for Oregon children affected by cleft and craniofacial conditions. Members of our board represent the fields of finance, law, design, education, medicine, and dentistry, and include parents and family members of children born with clefts. If

From babies to ambassadors.
This is one of those photos that stops us in our tracks. Faith and Kate as babies, and then Faith and Kate at Smiles in Bloom today. This is what community looks like over time. Kids growing in confidence. Friendships forming. Voices getting stronger.
Thank you for supporting Smile Oregon and for helping children and families impacted by cleft and craniofacial conditions feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
