Event Category:	Event
Dates & Times:	Thu Jun 24, 2010 -

Having acted in the role of the mother of a child with a craniofacial deformity in the movie Mask Cher was a natural choice to represent CCA. However, Cher did not become actively involved until 1990 when she joined children, adults and medical professionals in Washington, D.C. to raise public consciousness during Craniofacial Awareness Week. During that time, she developed personal friendships with children and their parents who were there to attend Congressional hearings and other activities. While in D.C., Cher spent every available moment with the children, even inviting them to her room without parents. Her persona was one of sincerity, warmth and genuine concern. Cher was very comfortable with the children, as well as the families. A feeling of mutual admiration soon developed among all.
