Strathcona Orthodontic patients' are able to not only redeem their well-earned 'coins' for gift cards and novelties, they can choose to donate all or some of their coins to our current fundraising project: Operation Smile. 'Operation Smile provides free surgeries to repair cleft lip, cleft palate and other facial deformities for children around the globe'. Our staff has also adopted this charity and we will be hosting a fundraising event later in 2010, details will be announced here on our blog and also on our website.
Since 1982, Operation Smile's dedicated medical volunteers have donate their time and expertise to travel to areas in the world where the need is greatest and these services are unavailable. Through their website they state that there are more than 200,000 children born each year with facial deformities. In some areas of the world these children not only face physical challenges, but also social barriers and emotional trauma. Operation Smile provides hope for a better future for each child that they are able to treat. You can read Operation Smile's blog on the wonderful work they are doing in Haiti and around the world.
Other charities that we support through the coin club are the Strollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton Alberta Canada, The Hope Mission, and Santa's Anonymous. We are proud to be able to support these worthwhile charities and we thank our patients for their generous donations.
