It's amazing what can be done when we all work together to make a difference. Cydcor along with our network of independent sales companies hit the $100,000 mark for Operation Smile - just $50,000 more to reach out goal to fund an entire Operation Smile Medical Mission. It has been inspiring to see what unique and fun ways we have come up with to raise money - bowling, stach for cash, car washes, auctions, raffles, you name it. The best part is - we won't stop till we hit our goal, because we have such an important cause to support.

Our employees are leaders in their communities all over the country in supporting their communities through service, so extending that to such an important cause was natural. The level of their generosity and commitment to others is what is truly astounding.”
