Would you believe it if it was said that there are heroes among us, reaching insurmountable feats? Now, they work hard and their superpowers while honed through training and education, are indeed supported by talents they are born with. To put this simply, these heroes I speak of thrive on the compassion, and while not as fashion-forward as some of those marvelous superheroes we might recall from comic books in our childhoods, they have a signature look in pure white lab coats. While I could spend paragraphs detailing the selflessness of life saving, coffee binging, sleep deprived, guardian angels on earth, there is a particular field in doctoring that I find is overlooked: Orthodontics.   

It has been a busy couple of months behind the scenes at AboutFace! We have had some important staffing and board changes that we would like to share with you! Please read on for more info.

 This workshop conference call series is designed specifically for adults with facial differences. The calls with take place the second Tuesday of the month. The purpose of these calls is to: 

• Provide an opportunity to connect with other adults who can relate to your experiences and feelings
• Provide useful information, strategies and ideas
• Provide a safe and trusting place to share and learn
• Share life experiences

AboutFace has had some fun and successful fundraisers and events recently! We most recently had a Holiday Potluck this past Sunday, which was a great opportunity for some of our friends to meet up! 

Recent fundraisers include a Boston Pizza Fundraising Event as well as the Rotary Club of Toronto's 66th Annual Golf Tournament in August where AboutFace was the recipient charity. At the end of the day, $14,000 was raised in support of AboutFace and Camp Trailblazers.
