October is Family Portrait Month

September 15, 2009

Join us in October to help children get a new smile. Infinity Images is participating in Family Portrait Month that benefits Operation Smile. This is a charity that helps children that were born with cleft palates get a new smile. We are donating $25 from every family or child portrait session in October to Operation Smile. It only costs $240 for one child to receive the surgery and a whole new outlook on life. So for every 10 sessions, we all help one child. Cleft lips and cleft palates are the fourth most common birth defect in the world. In developing countries, 1 in 500 children is born with a correctable facial deformity…but their families don’t have the resources and some countries don’t have doctors to perform the surgeries. The children can’t eat; can’t speak; or go to school. Our donors give these children the opportunity for happier, more fulfilled lives. 

In the United States, Operation Smile provides a network of resources to assist families who have children born with a cleft lip or cleft palate. Referrals are made to doctors and nurses who help coordinate care and to support groups across the US.

You know that you want a new family portrait for those Christmas cards you are going to send out this year. So why not help a child in need this year. We hope to see you in October!!!
