GIVING
10 Reasons to Give
Why should you support Lancaster Cleft Palate Clinic?
The Smiles!
The joy that LCPC brings to patients and their families by supporting cleft and craniofacial needs throughout the life course.
THE LIFESAVING WORK!
LCPC saves the lives of patients with clefts and other craniofacial needs all over the country.
OUR FAMILIES, FRIENDS, AND NEIGHBORS!
One in 700 children are born with a cleft. These are our families, friends, and neighbors.
OUR VOLUNTEERS!
Many giving people share their time and expertise with LCPC to help make sure we can provide the very best care to our patients. Medical practitioners, parents, and community members all give their time to create a special place for our patients.
OUR VOLUNTEER BOARD OF DIRECTORS!
These giving volunteers take it upon themselves to make sure we go beyond the minimum required to maintain nonprofit status to support fiscal responsibility and transparency.
THE EDUCATION!
Staff at LCPC consistently share their specialized knowledge with patients, families, community members, students, and other medical practitioners. Anyone who wants to learn more can find support at LCPC.
THE STAFF!
LCPC staff are truly special and every person focuses on the children. In 2022 we were nominated and received honoree status as one of the Best Workplaces in Lancaster County. In 2023, we won as a Best Workplace.
OUR UNIQUE STATUS!
As a stand-alone nonprofit clinic that is not part of a larger hospital system, we are unique in the current healthcare system. It allows us to focus on our patients and their families, no matter financial or other status, rather than profit.
HEALTHCARE COSTS!
Rising healthcare costs have made specialty care even less accessible for patients and their families. LCPC bridges this significant access gap with your support.
YOU
You are a true gift as a supporter.
Why I Give
After being involved with the Rotary Club of Lancaster for 16 years including her service as immediate past president, Althea knows the value of contributing to LCPC. The club and the clinic have a long-standing history. Our founder H. K. Cooper served as a member, and Rotary provided him with the seed funding to start the clinic in 1938. Althea Ramsay Carrigan, who has a cousin with a cleft palate, and was herself born with jaw issues, saw the needs at LCPC and advocated for the Rotary to allot more funds to donate to the organization. “It made all the difference in the world,” she said.
Althea Ramsay Carrigan
Sam Lombardo and his wife, Dena, both have a heart for LCPC because the organization gives so much back to children and the community. Sam has been hosting a golf tournament for the past 15 years to benefit LCPC. He believes that those who have been blessed financially should “give back” to the community and to others. Giving to LCPC holds him to his mission and allows him to support an organization that he is passionate about and loves.
Sam Lombardo
I’ve been blessed with four healthy children, and I’ve never had to go through a life-changing situation like the parents at our clinic. I give and volunteer because LCPC is making a difference in the lives of many, many children in South Central Pennsylvania. The professionals know the impact they can have, and that’s why they’re open with their extensive research: so everyone, anywhere can grow and achieve their best potential.
