Operation Smile has been a big part of Cydcor for the last few years, and we are working on raising even more money to help restore smiles all over the world. Cydcor wants to say THANK YOU to volunteers and donors for their support of this great cause.
We appreciate all the hard work and dedication. We are continuing to partner with this organization and have some very fun events coming up in the near future! Stay tuned for more news and events. You can also donate to our team page at Adopt-a-smile right now.
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.
Cydcor, the global leader in outsourced sales, has raised more than $150,000 once again for Operation Smile with its network of independently-owned sales offices across the United States and Canada.
This is the second year that Cydcor has been able to fundraise for a medical mission for Operation Smile, a children’s medical charity that provides free cleft lip and cleft palate reconstructive surgeries worldwide. Cydcor has held popular fundraisers, including bowling and cornhole tournaments, movie night, and an upcoming Karaoke night.
“We announced our continued partnership with Operation Smile late last year and set even higher goals for 2013 – and so far, we have met all of them,” said Vera Quinn, chief operating officer. “In addition to this milestone, we are also planning to raise enough for a third medical mission. I know we can – and will – accomplish it.”
In 2012, Cydcor funded a medical to Rio De Janeiro, where they helped Operation Smile provide more than 95 surgeries and more than 162 healthcare evaluations. This year, Cydcor is planning to fund another medical mission to a remote location – the destination to be decided in coming weeks.
“We are so grateful that Cydcor and its network of sales offices have chosen to partner with Operation Smile for a second year commitment,” said Dr. Bill Magee, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Operation Smile. “For the last three decades, Operation Smile has expanded to more than 60 countries so we can reach even more children in need; this would never have been possible without the support of companies like Cydcor.”

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.”

Cydcor announced their second partnership with Operation Smile. Last year, Cydcor and its network of independent sales offices across North America raised $150,000 to support a surgical mission. This year, the company set a goal to raise $300,000 to help Operation Smile provide free surgeries for children around the world born with facial deformities. Together, Cydcor and its network of sales offices and Operation Smile are giving smiles and transforming children’s lives worldwide.
The teams in Cydcor’s network of sales offices are creating fundraising events to reach their new donation goals. Community service is a key aspect of Cydcor’s culture. When the sales teams successfully reached their goal last year, several people within Cydcor volunteered for Operation Smile’s surgical mission in Rio De Janeiro. There, Operation Smile provided more than 95 free surgeries and over 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 5,000 medical volunteers from around the world have provided more than 3.5 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.
“Cydcor and its outsourced sales teams have an incredibly strong drive to succeed and this is so evident in how they have helped us transform children’s lives around the world,” said Dr. Bill Magee, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of Operation Smile. “We are so grateful that Cydcor has chosen to partner with Operation Smile for a second year commitment. For the last three decades, Operation Smile has expanded to more than 60 countries so we can reach even more children in need; this would never have been possible without the support of companies like Cydcor.”
“I am grateful we could help bring smiles to so many children and their families,” said Vera Quinn, Chief Operating Officer at Cydcor. “The surgical mission I volunteered for changed my life. I’m excited to be working on our fundraising efforts and know that once again, we’ll be able to accomplish great things. I’m so proud to be working with such a motivated and dedicated group of people.”

One step closer to $150,000 goal!
It was a night filled with excitement, energy, and competition as more than 50 Cydcor team members, families, and friends participated in a “Casino Night” to raise money for Operation Smile. During the event, they enjoyed a poker and blackjack tournament, costume contest, and raffle prizes.
Cydcor team members have been raising funds for Operation Smile over the past several months with an overall goal of raising $150,000 to fund a medical mission to remote locations in Peru, Cambodia, or Rwanda. Operation Smile is a children’s charity that provides free cleft lip and cleft palate reconstructive surgeries worldwide.
Special thanks to the vendors and organizations that donated products and services to the raffle winners! They included:
It was a winning night for Operation Smile, Cydcor, and all the attendees.
The combined efforts of Cydcor along with our network of independent sales companies continue to make progress toward achieving our total fundraising goal for Operation Smile. With just a little over $30,000 left to raise, we’re on track to reach our $150,000 target.
Cydcor team members have led the charge, raising significant funds for this worthy medical mission through successful, high-energy charity events. Their passionate commitment shows no signs of slowing down and is ramping up for the upcoming casino night in May.
Thanks to all the participating independent sales company owners, Cydcor team members, the community and other supporters who are helping make this possible!
At the beginning of every year, all Cydcor team members in North America get together to have our annual kickoff meeting. One of the highlights is what we do together make a difference in our community… and this time the world.
This year, Cydcor held a charity bowling event at the AMF Bowling Center in Woodland Hills to benefit Operation Smile. As an extra incentive, Cydcor team members earned raffle tickets based on the amount they collected. The tickets went into drawings for experiences with key executives, such as wine-tasting or attending a Los Angeles Lakers game.
We had a blast and raised more than $3,440 for Operation Smile, a children's medical charity that provides cleft lip and palate repair surgeries to children worldwide.
By adding the bowl-a-thon donations to our fundraising efforts, we will help Operation Smile fulfill their goals, which include providing safe, effective reconstructive surgeries and helping dedicated medical volunteers provide these procedures to the children who need them.
We are just steps away, or shall we say strikes away, from hitting our $150,000 goal!

Today we named Operation Smile this year's official corporate cause. The international children's medical charity treats facial deformities, such as cleft lips and palates, around the globe. We are partnering with its network of independently owned and operated offices to raise funds for the organization.
This is the first time Cydcor has adopted a charitable organization of this scale – it's a great way to exercise team building among our offices and we are proud to support an organization that improves the quality of so many lives.
We are partnering with our network of independently owned and operated sales companies to reach a goal of$150,000 in order to support an Operation Smile medical mission, currently slated to take place in Peru. Sales Companies are establishing their own "smile" campaign support pages and have fundraising goals starting at$1,000 per office. Cydcor has established its own "smile" page with a goal of $21,000 – enough to pay for 90 surgeries, each costing approximately $240.
"The need for quality cleft care is urgent; there are so many children around the world who desperately need our help," said Dr. Bill Magee, Founder and CEO of Operation Smile. "We are grateful for the generosity of our supporters and volunteers. It is only with their help that we can continue to give new smiles and transform the lives of our patients."

We just wrapped up our annual R&R Owners Weekend event at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach. This is an appreciation event for key members of our network of independently owned sales companies. While the event had an element of business, the primary focus was rest and relaxation for the more than 600 in attendance.
We enjoyed a weekend full of themed dinners, private group pool cabanas, ocean kayaks, banana boat rides, bocce ball, and ping-pong. The weekend culminated with a "Havana Nights" theme dinner, where we participated in a customized "Minute to Win It" and had a chance to win cash prizes.
We also held our 3rd Annual Charity Tournament event there, helping to raise support and awareness for Operation Smile, an international children's medical charity treating facial deformities such as cleft lips and cleft palates all around the world.
