The world lost a sweet, bright and shiny soul. Radio personality and FACES advocate, John Belar Johnson always lit up the room when he entered. John was always quick to invite FACES: The National Craniofacial Association to his radio show, and worked hard to learn what we did and how to pronounce it! He loved our FACES kids.
We here at FACES are praying for his little girl Izzy, who he adored, and his family. Thank you John for all you have done for FACES. Rest in peace my friend!

We are trying something new this year. There will be an Unmasked next year. For those artists who still want to work with us this year, we are looking for artists to respond to prompts in their artistic mediums. These pieces will be used in a postcard art initiative.

FACES would like to give a big shout-out to our great friends at the TitleMax offices in the Chattanooga area for their generous year-end donation of used ink cartridges. We are able to recycle these through the Funding Factory and turn them into cash for our clients, to help cover their travel expenses for life-changing reconstructive surgeries.

Thanks to Tommy Osnes, Dinah Rogers, Amanda Pettit, Brittany Daughterty, April Bailey and April Spears at TitleMax for collecting these cartridges all year at their offices and bringing them out to our office! Thanks, TitleMax for your support throughout the year! It makes a difference!

What a wonderful evening at FACES UnMasked. Elena Grace was a huge hit! Thank you Gregory Cook for the amazing photo!

I had the pleasure to hear this young lady speak last night at the FACES Unmasked event. Words cannot begin to described her strength and the love she has in her heart. Everyone in attendance benefited in so many ways just from being around her. I was personally blessed when she let me take this photo. As photographers we see people in so many ways, but looking into her eyes just made me feel better plus the hug after was AWESOME.

TLC’s “Two in a Million” Star Elena Schefer to speak at Chattanooga Fundraiser FACES UnMasked: Beyond the Face

12-year-old Elena Schefer has Goldenhar Syndrome, a craniofacial condition. She was recently featured on TLC’s reality hit show “Two in a Million”, where she met Austin Niehus, another child with Goldenhar. She and Austin became fast friends and launched an anti-bullying campaign together to show others the importance of being more sensitive to children with craniofacial differences and their families. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBwkDhGE8aY

Elena will be the guest speaker at FACES Unmasked, an evening of art, food, and fun put on by FACES, the National Craniofacial Association. FACES has been helping Elena and her family cover travel expenses for the many corrective surgeries she has endured over the past 11 years. Elena will be appearing with her service dog, Tuku, and her mom, Amy Schefer. Proceeds from the event will benefit FACES and allow them to continue to serve craniofacial families around the United States.

FACES UnMasked will take place on Thursday evening, October 27, from 5:30 p.m. until 8 p.m. at The Church on Main, the perfect place to unmask on East Main. It will be an engaging evening with beautiful and unique artwork, UnMasked artists, food and adult beverages, games for prizes, and fun! The highlight of the event will be the silent auction of some truly amazing masks and artwork created and donated by local artists.
