Dedicated to helping families and those born with cleft lip and palate.
At Candies for a Cause foundation, we are dedicated to fostering a confident and empowered cleft community. Our mission is to support individuals and families affected by clefts through three core initiatives: Supplies, Financing, Community Involvement.
Through these initiatives, we aim to create a brighter, more inclusive future, where every person affected by a cleft has the opportunity to lead a life filled with confidence, possibility, and support.

Our Mission
Core Innitiatives

Supply Packs
Providing Supply Packs to families preparing infants for surgery using NAM device.

Financial Support for Surgery Supplies and Appliances
helping to make smiles come true by filling the financial gaps between patients and medical appliances and surgery through funding.

Cleft Confidence
Building an active confident cleft community through engagement groups, providing scholarships to experience activities through partnerships with local businesses and organizations.

Our Why
I started this journey with a heartfelt mission. My granddaughter, Lavayah, was born with a cleft lip and palate, which opened my eyes to the challenges families face. Supporting my son and daughter-in-law as they navigate these issues has been a challenge and a calling for me.

Our Candy
Candies for a Cause, locally operated and manufactured freeze-dried candy and treats, here in Reno, directly supports the foundation initiatives, ensuring that we can meet the diverse needs of families within our community.
By partnering with us, you can help make a meaningful impact in the lives of these children and their families, enabling them to thrive and feel supported every step of the way.
