Thirty-five years ago, a handful of determined voices gathered around a kitchen table with one shared mission: to ensure no one facing facial pain would ever feel alone. 

That kitchen table meeting sparked a movement

Today, the Facial Pain Association provides a lifeline for thousands — offering answers when there are few, a community in times of isolation, and a platform to push for better care, research, and understanding. 

Now, we’re inviting you to shape what comes next. 

As we celebrate our 35th anniversary, we’re launching a challenge – to raise $35,000 in 35 days. 

Your gift will fuel progress for the next 35 years, providing 

  • Knowledge – expanding trusted, expert led education for patients and medical professionals. 
  • Connection – Growing a national network of support that reminds everyone facing facial pain that you are not alone. 
  • Change – Powering advocacy efforts to bring facial pain out of the shadows and onto the national stage. 

We’ve come a long way from that kitchen table. But we’re not done. The next chapter depends on you. 

Help us build the future one day, one story, and one gift at a time. Give today. 

With gratitude for your continued support,
