Participate in Family Portrait Month, a national fund-raising effort in October to benefit Operation Smile, a worldwide children's medical charity dedicated to improving the health and lives of children born with cleft lips, cleft palates, and other facial deformities.
It's easy. Pledge to contribute a portion of each October Family Portrait Month sale to PPA Charities, which has chosen Operation Smile as its charitable partner. Just sign up online and make the small $25 donation, and you're on your way to making a difference.
