Cydcor Announces Their Second Partnership with Operation Smile

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.”
