Why Sign Up?
Philly Phaces was established in 2014. We are volunteers made up of parents, health professionals, and young adults with appearance differences. Whether we are a patient, their parent, or medical provider, we are all intimately impacted by the life-changing work being done every day by the surgical and mental health professionals in the Philadelphia area. We are passionate about bringing to bear our experiences and resources to help children and their families navigate the medical, social, and psychological issues associated with appearance differences.
By participating in Philly Phun Run, you are directly supporting children and families facing facial differences in the Philadelphia metro region.
$1 from every registration will be donated to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (Division of Plastic Surgery).
Your support will help Philly Phaces:
- Provide our families staying overnight due to surgeries food vouchers and a refillable mug to use at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia cafeteria
- Provide peer-to-peer events throughout the year for families to connect with one another.
- Help us build our Peer Mentorship Program
