Our Mission

Supporting families from initial diagnosis through adulthood.

At CCA Kids our mission is to support and inspire individuals and families affected by facial differences. We are a national, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Nationally and internationally, CCA Kids addresses the medical, financial, psychosocial, emotional, and educational concerns relating to craniofacial conditions. We envision a world where all people are accepted for who they are, not how they look.
