The walk, which is open to the public, will start at 9 a.m. in front of the Toy Chest located at 441 Main St. in downtown Ridgefield and will go to the Cass Gilbert Fountain and return to Planet Pizza located at 411 Main St. for a group photo. Everyone who walks will get a free slice courtesy of Planet Pizza. Partners Ann Lathrop from the Toy Chest and Domenick Farago from Planet Pizza have been supporters of “Mile For A Smile” since it first began in 2014.
Millions of children in developing countries with untreated clefts live in isolation, but more importantly, have difficulty eating, breathing and speaking. Cleft repair surgery is simple, and the transformation is immediate. Over the last three years “Mile For A Smile” has raised more than $6,000, which has helped provide free cleft repair surgery for more than 30 children.
The fundraising goal this year is to raise $1,250, which will provide cleft repair surgery for five children.
