“Cheers to Cher’s 80th Birthday”
Cher’s performance in the movie, Mask, released in 1985, sparked her interest in children and families affected by craniofacial differences. A few years later in 1990, she formalized her involvement with CCA, participating in Craniofacial Awareness Week in Washington, D.C. and signing on to become our national spokesperson. Cher conceived the idea of a camp for the whole family. Cher’s Annual Family Retreat was born. Since 1991, Retreats have been held annually throughout the country.

Everyone should be #SeenAndServed with dignity across hospitality and service settings. And yet individuals in the facial difference community are having varying different experiences across the sector.

We want to ensure everyone is having positive experiences, and being respected, valued and included in everyday life.

Organisations and individuals in the facial and visible difference communities are patrons of the hospitality and service industries the same as anyone else.

Here our member organisations @betcs.cz @smiletrain and @ccakids share what the Seen And Served campaign means to them!

Video description: Clips from BeTCS Renáta Šťastná, Smile Train Community Development Manager Stephanie, and Children’s Craniofacial Association Executive Director Erica. Renáta is a woman with brown hair tied in a bun, who is going through TSW. She is wearing a comfortable burgundy t-shirt adjusted so that she can have bare shoulders and is sitting on a chair. Stephanie is a white woman with long brown hair and a cleft lip, wearing a black shirt. Erica is a white woman in her 40s with her dark hair pulled back and wearing white cat-eye glasses with a pink shirt and black puffer jacket. She has facial asymmetry. End clip features the Face Equality International logo and stickers that read “Join in with Seen And Served! International Face Equality Week 2026”, “How can I help you?”, “Serving Face Equality”, “A worldwide movement” and “See Me Serve Me” Stickers feature emoji style faces with facial differences such as a facial scar, birthmark and cleft lip.

We’re proud to support our friends at Face Equality International for International Face Equality Week!

The theme of IFEW this year is hospitality - ensuring everyone is Seen And Served in public spaces such as restaurants, cafes and bars.
Regardless of appearance, everyone should be seen with dignity and served with respect. Public spaces must be welcoming, inclusive, and safe for all. Including additional company training for servers about working with customers who have facial differences or disabilities would help to create a better experience for everyone.
