Ridgefield resident Steven Christofor and his daughter Isabel Christofor will be hosting their 4th annual "Mile For A Smile" fundraising and awareness walk on Sunday October 22rd benefiting Smile Train, the world’s largest cleft charity.
The walk, which is open to the public, will start at 9:00am in front of The Toy Chest located at 441 Main Street in downtown Ridgefield and will go to The Cass Gilbert Fountain and return to Planet Pizza located at 411 Main Street for a group photo. Everyone who walks will get a free slice courtesy of Planet Pizza. Special thanks to our partners Ann Lathrop from the Toy Chest and Domenick Farago from Planet Pizza who have been supporters of “Mile For A Smile” since 2014 when it first began.
Millions of children in developing countries with untreated clefts live in isolation, but more importantly, have difficulty eating, breathing and speaking. Cleft repair surgery is simple, and the transformation is immediate. Over the last three years “Mile For A Smile” has raised over $6,000 which has helped provide free cleft repair surgery for more than 30 children.
The fundraising goal this year is to raise $1,250 which will provide cleft repair surgery for five children. For more information regarding the walk or to donate to Smile Train, please click here or bring a check made out to Smile Train. Donations will be accepted, but are not required to walk.
For any questions pls call Steven Christrofor at 646-643-0394.
