Our four days of fundraising helps create a lifetime of smiles."
Cydcor has raised nearly $900,000 in charitable donations for Operation Smile since 2010, and has sponsored five medical missions. Cydcor volunteers returned from the most recent medical mission to Guadalajara, Mexico, in March, where they helped provide assistance and comfort to families while their children received surgeries from the Operation Smile medical team. Cydcor's corporate philanthropy initiatives have previously helped fund medical missions to Brazil, Guatemala, Bolivia and Mexico, with this year's fundraising campaign expected to help sponsor additional medical missions in the coming months.
Cydcor and its network of independent sales offices throughout the US, Canada and the United Kingdom will be hosting a variety of fundraising activities through their annual Day of Smile event taking place May 20-24. Hoping to beat their previous best of $130,000 raised last year, Cydcor's charitable donations could top the $1 million mark of lifetime giving to Operation Smile this year.
"We are a people helping people business, and our annual Day of Smiles event is a perfect example of that commitment," added Quinn. "I'm most proud that this pledge of service to others has become a cornerstone of our company, and those who work with us."

AGOURA HILLS, Calif., Jan. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cydcor, the recognized leader of outsourced face-to-face sales, has promoted Brooke Levy to senior vice president and general manager for its business-to-business clients, President Vera Quinn announced today.
Levy will lead Cydcor's B2B efforts including managing client relationships, driving results at the campaign management level, as well as exploring new business opportunities while strengthening existing client relationships.
"Brooke has been a major force in growing our expansion businesses, and we're very fortunate that she'll be applying her expertise to continue the growth of these programs and our B2B presence overall," said Quinn. "Her stellar performance underscores our confidence that her work ethic, relentless pursuit of excellence, and ability to execute will absolutely take Cydcor's B2B programs to the next level."
In 2015, Levy was named Senior Vice President of Strategic Growth Initiatives, and became part of Cydcor's executive team. Along with identifying new mid-market sales opportunities, Levy was responsible for building and analyzing business models and matching the right clients to those successful models, ensuring long term growth. She played a key part in designing the business and legal framework for both of Cydcor's proprietary residential energy businesses, eventually taking over campaign management leadership for one of them. During the past 18 months, Levy drove 318% revenue growth for that program alone.
Levy originally joined Cydcor in 2013 as U.S. General Counsel following a successful 10-year stint as a corporate lawyer with specialties in mergers and acquisitions as well as private equity. She holds her Juris Doctorate from Northwestern University School of Law, and earned her undergraduate degree from University of Texas, Austin.
Gary Polson, Cydcor Chairman and CEO added, "Brooke has shown on major endeavors that she can go improve a campaign for dramatic results. Vera and I are confident that she will do this for the B2B campaigns for the benefit of our clients, our network of independent sales offices and Cydcor."
