A Night of Community and Generosity
On April 10, 2026, the Smile Oregon community gathered at Castaway Portland for Smiles in Bloom, our annual spring gala celebrating children and families impacted by cleft and craniofacial conditions.
It was a beautiful evening of generosity, connection, and youth leadership. Families, providers, sponsors, donors, volunteers, and friends came together to celebrate the resilience of this community and raise critical support for treatments, speech therapy, orthodontic care, surgeries, and family support programs across Oregon and SW Washington.
