Thousands of reasons… (and dollars) to smile!

Oct 10, 2013

0 min read

This past weekend, the Cydcor team hosted our first “Day of Smiles,” a fundraiser held throughout the United States and Canada among our network of independently-owned sales companies for Operation Smile.  In addition to our own team members, more than 200 participating sales companies put their sales powers to work to raise money to provide cleft palate surgeries for children! Though we have been supporters for years – and have raised enough for two medical missions, one of which took place last year in Rio De Janeiro – Operation Smile is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary, and we wanted to do something special and help fund our third medical mission.

The grand tally isn’t in yet, but we are definitely on track to achieving that goal thanks to the dedication and hard work of our team members and sales offices! We will keep you updated on our tallies as more independent sales company volunteers send in their funds.  I estimate that we had more than 2,000 people volunteering their time participating in the Day of Smiles. Imagine that… 2,000 people focused on changing the world and many lives at the same time.

At Cydcor, our team members went door-to-door and stood outside Jersey Mike’s in Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, and Newbury Park, along with Sagebrush Cantina in Calabasas.  Special thanks to them for their support! It’s just another example of the community come together to work toward a shared goal.

Once again, a huge appreciation to our team members and volunteers who supported the effort.  We are looking forward to making a huge difference in the lives of children and their families around the world. Watch the dollars grow and check out Cydcor’s Operation Smile Page.

Using Sales Power for Good: Cydcor on Fundraising

Oct 4, 2013

Cydcor Operation Smile

This week the team at Cydcor and its network of independent sales offices will launch the Day of Smiles campaign for Operation Smile.  Operation Smile is a nonprofit that provides cleft palate surgeries to children all over the world.  One in ten children globally are born with a cleft palate, and many of them do not survive past the age of one.  This summer, Cydcor and its sales network were able to a medical mission that would provide downs of surgeries to children in poor areas.  Last year, the company raised enough money to provide nearly 100 surgeries, and the goal is double this year.  The day of smiles campaign will last October 4th through the 6th, and the goal is to raise $150,000 by the end of the short campaign.  Here are our favorite tips on how to raise money for your cause:

  1. Ask everyone you know to support you.  Remember you friends want to help you out, and you may need to ask more than once.  Ask people directly, with a personal touch, rather than just posting about it online. It is more work to do it that way, but you will get better results.
  2. Do something fun!  At Cydcor, we held garage sales, casino nights, bowling tournaments and sold brown bag lunches to raise funds.  Plan a low cost event or something to sell that incentivizes people in your community.
  3. Do not stop sharing.  Share online, in your neighborhood, wear t-shirts, talk to everyone you meet.  Tell everyone you know all about your cause, and share facts and stories about why their donation would be helpful.  Know your cause well, and keep producing talking points to share with your network on and offline.

Vera Quinn on the Day of Smiles

Oct 3, 2013

0 min read

I have been with Cydcor for seventeen years.  In 2010, we launched our partnership with Operation Smile.  The work we do to raise money for this cause has added an extra level of meaning to the work we do at Cydcor and our community.  We were already giving employees volunteer hours and donated to charities, but we especially appreciate our special relationship with Operation Smile. I was able to participate in the mission last year, and I got to see first hand how we have the power to change lives for good.

Vera Quinn in Brazil for Cydcor

Last year, we were able to raise enough money to fund a mission to provide cleft palate surgeries to children in need.  Cleft palates often cause complications for feeding and breathing in infants, and many of them don’t survive.  The surgeries we were able to fund have been able to change the lives of these children and their families.  The trip was able to pay for nearly 620 surgeries for patients in Brazil.

The success of Cydcor is based on our distinctive culture, which is one that is passionate about giving back to communities around the world.  We have already been able to fund one more medical mission this year, and our goal is fund another.  That is why we decided to launch the Day of Smiles Campaign. This weekend will unite participating teams from our network of more than 200 independent sales companies to raise money and hit our total goal of $400,000 for the year.

Our office has been developing programs throughout the year to raise money for our cause.  We believe this weekend alone will fund a $150,000 mission.  We ask for your support in restoring smiles to children around the world.  Please visit Cydcor’s Operation Smile Team page to donate now.  If two dozen people donate just ten dollars, we can fund a surgery.

Also, please follow Cydcor on Twitter and our Cydcor Operation Smile Facebook page to keep up with all the activity.  If you are participating in the fundraiser, be sure to tell your friends online about it with the hashtag #dayofsmiles.

Cydcor and its network of independently owned sales offices will be working together to raise funds for Operation Smile from October 4th - 6th .  The goal is to fund another medical mission over the next week.  Cydcor and its network have already funded one mission over the summer, and the new goal for the year is set at $400,000.  Fundraisers will be independently organized by each sales company and everyone is encouraged to implement their own creative ideas to raise money for such a great cause.

Operation Smile is celebrating its thirtieth year running, and employees will wear commemorative t-shirts during the fundraiser to help raise awareness and drive donations.  Here's a picture of Jennifer at Cydcor packing up the boxes of t-shirts to be shipped out to the independent sales offices.

In 2012, the Cydcor community raised enough money to fund a mission to Rio de Janiero, where a team of surgeons and medical professionals were able to provide 95 surgeries for children who were not able to live a full life due a cleft palate.

“We believe that our success is based on our distinctive culture; there is a passion we all have to give back to our communities,” said Vera Quinn, chief operating officer at Cydcor. “I personally have been on a medical mission and have seen the new smiles on the faces of these children. We have all been developing programs throughout the year to raise money. Our ‘Day of Smiles’ program will unite more than 200 independent sales companies on the same weekend to help hit our $400,000 goal.”

Cydcor Launches “Day of Smiles” on October 4th to Heal Smiles and Save the Lives of Children Born with Facial Deformities

Oct 1, 2013

0 min read

Operation Smile, an international children’s medical charity, has announced that Cydcor, the global leader in outsourced sales, is launching the first-ever “Day of Smiles” beginning October 4th and running through October 6th to help children around the world who are born with facial deformities. All proceeds will benefit Operation Smile.

Cydcor and its network of independently-owned sales offices across North America will be working together on the same day to raise funds for Operation Smile. All participants will wear tee-shirts emblazoned with Operation Smile’s 30th anniversary campaign theme, change ™, designed to make a lasting impact for children born with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities.

Last year, Cydcor and its independent sales offices raised more than $150,000 to support a medical mission. This year, Cydcor and its network of independently-owned sales offices met another goal of $150,000, which will enable them to sponsor another medical mission.

Cydcor has set an overall goal of raising $400,000 to help Operation Smile provide free surgeries for children around the world born with cleft lips and cleft palates. Together, Cydcor and Operation Smile are giving smiles and transforming children’s lives worldwide.

Last year, during Cydcor’s medical mission to Rio De Janeiro, Operation Smile provided more than 95 free surgeries and more than 162 healthcare evaluations for children who were suffering from cleft lips and cleft palates.

Every three minutes, a child is born with a cleft. One in 10 will die before their first birthday. For 30 years, Operation Smile and its network of more than 5,400 medical volunteers from around the world have provided more than 3.8 million healthcare evaluations and performed more than 200,000 free surgeries for children in need. However, many children are still waiting – children who often can’t eat or speak properly. Operation Smile can help give them a healthy, productive life filled with hope.

“It is such a pleasure to partner with Cydcor and its independent sales office teams, because they are incredibly motivated and dedicated to helping give smiles to these children around the world,” said Dr. Bill Magee, CEO and Co-Founder of Operation Smile. “Their teams truly understand how incredible it is to change the life of a child forever – a child who was been born into the world with no hope. Our work wouldn’t be possible without the support of companies like Cydcor.”

“We believe that our success is based on our distinctive culture; there is a passion we all have to give back to our communities,” said Vera Quinn, chief operating officer at Cydcor. “I personally have been on a medical mission and have seen the new smiles on the faces of these children. We have all been developing programs throughout the year to raise money. Our ‘Day of Smiles’ program will unite more than 200 offices on the same weekend to help hit our $400,000 goal.”

Cydcor Operation Smile Garage Sale Funds Two More Surgeries!

Garage Sale Funds Two More Surgeries!

A big thank-you to our team members who volunteered to come out last Saturday for our MEGA Garage sale to raise money for Operation Smile.  We raised over $600, which is enough to help two children have a better life by restoring their smile.

The sale took place on Saturday, September 7th from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Earth Elementary School’s basketball courts.  Gently used items were donated by Cydcor team members just days before the sale.

Team members that donated items were also eligible for raffle tickets to win a lunch with our CEO, Gary Polson.  Volunteers who helped us set up and take down the sale got five tickets!  Congratulations to our winner, Miriam Caballero, who also received recognition this week from our Joy Germ Club for spreading the most smiles around the office.

The Cydcor home office has now reached our overall goal of raising $30,000 for Operation Smile.  In addition to the sale, we organized a snack bar, wine tasting, movie nights, a karaoke event and more.  The $30,000 is part of an overall company goal to fund a $150,000 medical trip overseas.  This is the second year in a row that Cydcor has been able to raise over $150,000 for Operation Smile.
