In honor of the 10th anniversary of my mother’s passing, Michele Daschbach Fast, consider donating to Smile Train. Since 2011 over $143,000 have been donated in her remembrance. Thanks to all of your generous donations, so far 570 children have received free cleft care.
May we remember my mom and the 7 other victims of the Salon Meritage shooting on October 12, 2011. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the families impacted by this tremendous loss.

After many years of fundraising with Smile Train I have decided to join the Young Leadership Circle Board to help bring even more smiles into the world. Smile Train is an international children’s charity with a sustainable approach to a single, solvable problem: cleft lip and palate. Having had a cleft lip and cleft palate, I really appreciate Smile Train's approach of providing comprehensive care beyond initial surgeries as a young kid. Many children with clefts around the world live in isolation, but more importantly, have difficulty eating, breathing, hearing, and speaking. The training, funding and resources that Smile Train gives local doctors creates a place for patients to continue getting care.
Thank you for supporting my fundraiser with Smile Train – together we can change the world one smile at a time!
