I'm incredibly honored and thrilled to be named the 2024 Mid America "Operation Smile" Ambassador.  Over my 23 years at J&J, I've heard countless first hand stories about what an incredible organization Operation Smile is. Especially, how $240 and 45 mins can change the trajectory of a young childs life. I'm excited to see the impact that we can make, knowing that the money I raise I will make a difference to so many.

Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft lip or cleft palate. Many of these children are unable to receive the medical care they need because it is too costly, far away, or too specialized. Because of this, being born with a cleft condition can be fatal. If a child survives, they may face bullying and social isolation.

 

Operation Smile creates solutions that deliver safe surgery to people where it’s needed most. Will you help me bring hope and new smiles to children suffering from facial deformities by supporting my fundraising goal?

For as little as $240 and in as few as 45 minutes, Operation Smile can provide life-changing surgery – and renewed hope – for children around the world.
