Our story…

Gather your family and friends and Run for SMILES! Operation Smile is a global medical charity providing free surgery for patients born with cleft lip and/or cleft palate who would otherwise go without. When left untreated, having a cleft lip and/or cleft palate becomes a life-threatening and life-long burden. Without corrective surgery, over 90% of children born with cleft lip and/or cleft palate will not live to see their 20th birthday. Operation Smile believes no one should endure that burden, no matter where they live. Operation Smile ensures children have access to the treatment they need and deserve. Surgery to repair a child’s cleft condition takes, on average 45 minutes, and can cost as little at $240. This is possible thanks to caring Canadian partners, the generous contributions of global medical volunteers, and corporate partners that donate the critical supplies and equipment necessary to deliver safe surgery.
