CLEFTSTRONG CHAMPIONS

We’d like to recognize the CleftStrong Champions from across the country. These outstanding fundraising teams play a vital role in advancing the CleftStrong mission, raising the highest contributions at our annual CleftStrong 5K events. Team captains choose whether their efforts support patient families in need or contribute to medical research and improved patient care through the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association.
Fundraising teams are simple to set up, easy to share with friends and family, and help build awareness and understanding of cleft conditions while promoting community involvement.
Each year, CleftStrong Champions are honored during the awards ceremony. Since the program began in 2017, teams have come together annually in the months leading up to race day to make a meaningful impact through their fundraising efforts.
