Isabella Lavigne's Smile Fund: A One-Mile Mermaid Swim, Making Waves for Kids' Health 2023

Donate Now

Welcome to my Smile Fund to raise money for Operation Smile – a global medical nonprofit organization that provides free surgeries for children around the world born with cleft lip, cleft palate and other facial deformities. 

On May 30, 2023, I will swim one mile across the Lafayette River in Norfolk, Virginia to bring attention to Operation Smile and the work being done to change lives. It would be invaluable to have your support! This is my first time taking on the challenge.

These children need our help.

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. Please, consider making your tax-deductible gift today.

Thank you for your support!

Welcome to My Smile Fund

Page updated successfully!

I had the great opportunity to bike through Malawi last year and I fell in love with the children. I saw many kids being bullied because of their cleft lips, and many don’t go to school. I hope to raise awareness and funds for Operation Smile so that no child ever gets bullied for their facial deformity.

Please spread the word about my Smile Fund. I will be biking from New York to Virginia for two weeks to raise money for Operation Smile. I will share pictures and stories on this page!

Please donate to my Smile Fund -- anything you can give is a huge help.
