CFA Service Award

 

Terri Farmer Service Award  

In 2009 the Craniofacial Foundation of America (CFA) pledged to present the Terri Farmer Service Award to someone who exemplifies the qualities that Terri Farmer herself gave so willingly to the patients and their families of the CFA throughout her 18 years of service.

The Tennessee Craniofacial Center (TCC) and CFA had to say good-bye to someone who gave true meaning to the mission of creating better tomorrows for patients with facial birth defects, tumors and trauma-related injuries.  Mrs. Terri Farmer retired from her position as the liaison for the TCC in November of 2009 after 18 years of dedicated service.  Terri was very dedicated and compassionate about the families who came to the Center for evaluation and treatment.  She treated them as her own family.  Her love, compassion, and dedication has touched many lives throughout her service to this organization.

The Craniofacial Foundation of America presented the 2011 Terri Farmer Service Award to Miss Heather Henderson on April 2, 2011 at the annual Palate 2 Palette fundraiser.  Miss Henderson was selected as the recipient of the award for her contribution to the CFA in organizing and establishing the "Dreams Can Come True"  family camp.  When she was 16 years old, Miss Henderson started  this special weekend camp for children with craniofacial differences for her Girl Scout's Gold Award project .  11 years later, Miss Henderson remains actively involved in the camp and volunteers her time and efforts at the three day camp held at Camp Adahi in Menlo, Georgia.  "Dreams Can Come True" family camp is sponsored by the CFA and is of no cost to our patients and their families.
