National Cleft & Craniofacial Awareness & Prevention Month occurs in July and is sponsored by AmeriFace and CleftcAdvocate.
Cleft and craniofacial conditions affect thousands of infants, children, teens, and adults in the United States annually. Some are born with congenital anomalies like cleft lip and palate, others with more complex, life-threatening craniofacial conditions. Some are burned, injured in accidents and animal attacks, or diagnosed with various oral/head/neck and skin diseases.
