One Saturday in July, 2018, CHAP offered art at the Smile Oregon event at Gabriel Park in SW Portland. This was Smile Oregon's 8th Annual Walk and Family Picnic and it was the 3rd year in a row that they have asked CHAP to be a part of the festivities. This relationship was made years ago when Dr. Judah Garfinkle started noticing CHAP working with his patients in the waiting area outside of pediatric surgery at Doernbecher. Dr. Garfinkle is one of the founders of Smile Oregon, a non-profit that serves families affected by cleft or craniofacial conditions. This has been a perfect extension of CHAP. The patients have many stages of repair and are in the hospital with great frequency over a relatively short period of time. The Walk and Family Picnic gives CHAP the opportunity to re-connect with people we met years ago. As always, we love seeing familiar faces and the chance to spread more joy.
