Just like smiles, sunglasses come in every shape and style. The best look is always confidence.

This July, let your smile shine behind those shades and tell someone you love their sunnies and their smile!

July is Cleft & Craniofacial Awareness Month, and I’m celebrating by sharing some of my favorite smiles and stories!!

As a recent graduate myself, I am so thrilled to present another gorgeous graduate! Ivy’s diploma presented by Phoenix Children's & ACPA states she adorably and successfully completed her pre-surgical treatment including a NAM device (Nasoalveolar molding). A NAM is a nonsurgical presurgical treatment used for infants born with a cleft lip and palate. It involves a custom plastic plate and small nasal stents that gently shape the gums, lip, and nostrils.

Her mom shared, “My daughter is almost 5 months old and we have been following you since she started her cleft journey. We received her doll at her NAM graduation (aka last appointment before surgery). I saw your post in your pink cap and gown and had to share little miss Ivy’s graduation pictures because she has her doll and pink gown just like your recent post.”

Happy Graduation and great job on surgery, Ivy! We love all versions of your smile!

I’m leaving for college, but I can’t leave them behind.

I’m so honored and excited to announce that hundreds of dolls will be placed at Phoenix Children’s Hospital’s Cleft and Craniofacial Care Center where children facing an upcoming surgery will be able to select a doll alongside their provider who can help comfort and calm their scaries as well as explain their procedure in a kid-friendly way.

And my heart is so filled with joy that my doctors at my hospital will be spreading joy and smiles while I’m away studying.

Well friends, I graduated!

I simply cannot believe that my high school years are over and all those afternoons sitting behind my sewing machine after school will soon be beautiful memories!

High school may be over, but I’m carrying my smile story and passion for advocacy to college with me. Things might look a bit different but equally as bright. Stay tuned for news of what’s ahead for me and my dolls!

Who else is celebrating a 2026 graduate?!? Celebrate them below in the comments!

Summer is for Smiles!!!

Let’s make the Summer of 2026 all about smiles and helping the ELSA bill pass through Congress!Here are a few sunny ways to create meaningful change, spread a little sunshine, and be part of something bigger than yourself.

1. Pack your sunscreen and your purpose!

If your summer travels take you to D.C., why not soak up the opportunity to meet with congressional offices? Whether you connect with a legislator or a staff member, your voice can help shine a light on ELSA. Advocacy events and Hill Days are also fantastic chances to meet fellow changemakers who are ready to make waves.

2. Shine bright in your local community.

Summer is full of chances to connect. From town halls and community gatherings to neighborhood events and meet-and-greets, keep an eye on your elected officials’ social media pages and newsletters so you can catch opportunities to share your perspective. Sometimes the brightest ideas start right in your own backyard.

3. Bring important conversations into the light.

You don’t need to be an expert to make an impact. Reach out to your legislators’ offices and ask about scheduling a brief virtual meeting with them or their team. Sharing your experiences can be the ray of insight that helps move important conversations forward.

4. Send a little sunshine to Congress.

A thoughtful email is a simple but powerful way to support ELSA. If your representatives haven’t signed on yet, encourage them to get involved. If they already support it, send a sunny thank-you and let them know you hope they’ll keep the momentum glowing. Every message adds warmth to the movement.

5. Help ELSA’s message shine.

Spread awareness wherever you can! Share posts, repost stories, text a friend, or chat with family members about ELSA. Every conversation helps the cause grow, and each new supporter adds another sunbeam to a brighter future.

Real change is built one sunny step at a time when people keep showing up, speaking out, and helping others see the light. This summer, let’s make waves together, keep the momentum glowing, and help ELSA shine even brighter.
