What Is Project Bright Smile? 

Stryker and Operation Smile are working together to make sure that people around the world can access the safe surgical care that they deserve. Leveraging Operation Smile’s three decades of experience providing high-quality cleft lip and cleft palate care, our partnership is making a global impact by ensuring that care is delivered to the world’s most marginalized patients as well as expanding access to education and training opportunities for health care workers across the world.

Through Project Bright Smile, the Stryker West Area Joint Replacement Team's fundraising campaign, you can help fund critically needed surgical and supportive nonsurgical care for children with cleft conditions in low-and middle-income countries. In doing so, you will be joining a growing movement of people who believe everyone deserves the right to health and dignity, and that compassion always prevails.

There may be more than seven million people living with unrepaired cleft lip and cleft palate worldwide, a number that grows daily. How can you help?

·         As little as $240 can deliver a life-changing surgery to a person with a cleft condition.

·         With just $100, you can equip 1 pre-surgery pediatric station with therapeutic toys and materials to ease a child’s fears before going into surgery.

·         For just $70, you can help make surgery possible with the gift of transportation for one family.

·         With a gift of $30, you can help provide antibiotics to 10 children, ensuring they can safely receive surgery. 

With a gift of any amount to Project Bright Smile, you can be a part of changing that narrative and changing someone’s life.

Every dollar donated through March 31, 2021 or up to our goal of $100,000, will receive matching support from Stryker, making 2x the impact for those in need of safe surgery.
