Cydcor is thrilled to announce that our 2018, annual Day of Smiles fundraising event is underway! This week, Cydcor team members, along with volunteers from Cydcor's network of independent sales companies will stage a variety of fundraisers around the country. Teams will put their sales talents to work, building awareness and raising funds on behalf of Operation Smile. One of the oldest and largest volunteer-based organizations dedicated to improving the health and lives of children worldwide, through access to surgical care, Operation Smile provides life-changing cleft lip and palate corrective surgeries at no cost, to children in need.
Teams participating in the event will get creative, planning fundraisers that vary from car washes and apparel sales, to bake sales and sporting events. Each year, Cydcor's Day of Smiles event brings in thousands of dollars to support Operation Smile's mission to ensure every child has access to safe surgical care. In addition, Cydcor team members and participants from the network of independent sales companies have had the opportunity to attend five Operation Smile medical missions around the globe that they themselves have helped fund through their outreach efforts. On Operation Smile medical missions, surgical teams comprised of credentialed medical volunteers provide life-changing surgeries for children with cleft lip and cleft palate, as well as free medical assessments, and support for family and loved ones of patients. Recently, Operation Smile’s founder, Dr. Magee personally thanked Cydcor for its ongoing contribution.
Cydcor has been partnering with Operation Smile since 2010, collaborating with the sales company owners in Cydcor’s network in a variety of fundraising projects. To date, Cydcor has raised nearly $1,000,000, to help Operation Smile ensure no child goes without surgical care. That’s enough to heal more than 4,000 smiles. This is an important year for Cydcor’s Day of Smiles, as we have that $1,000,000 mark in our sights and we plan to hit our goal!
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.
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, the leading provider of professional in-person sales teams, announced that they recently had two fundraisers – a movie night and a bowling night - for Operation Smile, a worldwide children’s medical charity, and is rapidly approaching their overall fundraising goal.
The two events were created, arranged, and executed by Cydcor team members. Last year, Cydcor and its network of independently-owned sales offices raised $150,000 for a medical mission to Rio de Janeiro and are working hard to meet their new goal – two medical missions. Details of the recent fundraisers include:
Bowling Night
The Cydcor Bowling Night raised more than $880 for Operation Smile. Approximately 75 team members, their family and friends, and Business Building Block attendees (sales professionals from offices who were in town attending a learning event at Cydcor’s corporate office) came to the event. Participants were creative with the “highlighter” theme, sporting highlighter goatees, jerseys, vests and ties, and much more.
Movie Night
The Cydcor Movie Night took place at the local Muvico Thousand Oaks for a screening of a popular children’s movie. A total of $755 was raised; 151 tickets were sold at $5 each. Some of the tickets purchased by Cydcor team members were donated to families at EARTHS Academy, a local elementary school. During pre-ticket sales at the theater, celebrity Jamie Foxx purchased several tickets – demonstrating a widespread support of the organization.
“Once we put our mind to something, we do it,” said Chief Operating Officer Vera Quinn. “Everyone has rallied together so well to raise funds for such an amazing organization. These fundraisers symbolize so much – our commitment to these children, a dedication to our goals, and our drive to succeed.”
