When & Where Our first annual 5k Dental Dash will take place on Saturday, September 26, 2026. Our route is through Lake Park, beginning and ending at the Summer Stage. Why Proceeds from this event will benefit patients at Children's Wisconsin Hospital and Marquette University School of Dentistry by sponsoring their cleft lip and palate care! Our mission at Miles for Smiles is to provide resources and support to patients with cleft lip and palate conditions through fundraising, volunteering, and community outreach. Through our annual 5k race and other fundraising efforts, we help sponsor surgeries and care for families in our local Milwaukee community. Through our volunteer and outreach programs, we aim to increase awareness, connect students with opportunities to serve those affected in our community, and promote access to comprehensive cleft care.
