2026 CCA Retreat & Educational Symposium
2025-12-15
We are excited to announce that FFC will again sponsor families to attend CCA’s Annual Family Retreat & Educational Symposium.
CCA’s Annual Family Retreat & Educational Symposium is held each June to provide individuals affected by a facial difference, their siblings and parents an opportunity to interact with others who have endured similar experiences. The unique format of the Retreat allows families to share ideas, problems and solutions and make life-long friendships. The weekend kicks off on Thursday with an Educational Symposium and the rest of the weekend allows time and activities to build new relationships and bonds of understanding and caring, which will lend support through both difficult and good times in the future.
When: June 26 to June 28, 2026
Where: Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress, Orlando Florida
Deadline for FFC Sponsorship Application: December 15, 2025

Please email the 2026 CCA Sponsorship Application and the Photo Release to communications@facesofchildren.org on or before December 15th to be eligible for FFC Sponsorship*

If chosen for sponsorship, FFC will award your family with a CCA Family Scholarship ($3,000) paid to CCA to cover registration fees, hotel charges and other travel expenses.

Each family is responsible for booking their own airfare/travel arrangements and please keep in mind prices fluctuate so families need to plan accordingly.
