Community Activities

“It's great when you realize you are not the only one dealing with questions, stares and remarks from strangers. At AboutFace, you will find a willing group of great families who understand what you are going through and can offer support, friendship, advice and an ear to listen.”

Leanne Popko, Community Rep and mother of Hannah

AboutFace Community Representatives are our team of dedicated volunteers who help to promote the work of AboutFace and plan regular Parent Connection Meetings to support families of children with facial differences. These informal gatherings are a wonderful way to meet other families in your area. AboutFace get-togethers can range from play date group gatherings, to picnics to an afternoon of bowling. Our goal is to build local networks of support and facilitate friendships.
