Silent Acution for Operation Smile

The Holidays are a time when most of are in the mood to help and give, but it is also a time to spend with friends and family and reflect back on the year of what was accomplished, and what the next year will bring to us.

 I have found that in life most of us know how to find the most basic human necessities such as a job, love, friends, shelter etc but many of us struggle in finding fulfillment. It is the one aspect of our lives that we can not pretend to be selfish with and to find true fulfillment it requires us to do something for someone else that will help them out and give us nothing back in return for it. Over the past few months the team here at Seven Marketing Group has been working on a silent auction for Operation Smile. If you have never heard of Operation Smile here is a bit about who they are and what they stand for.


Operation Smile is an international children's medical charity that heals children's smiles, forever changing their lives.
As an international charity for children, we measure ourselves by the joy we see on all of the faces we help. At Operation Smile, we're more than a charity. More than an NGO. We're a mobilized force of medical professionals and caring hearts who provide safe, effective reconstructive surgery for children born with facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate.
Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft — often unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. In some places these children are shunned and rejected. And in too many cases, their parents can't afford to give them the surgeries they need to live a normal life.
That's where we come in as one of the top charities providing much needed surgical services. Since 1982, Operation Smile — through the help of dedicated medical volunteers — has provided more than 3.5 million comprehensive patient evaluations and over 200,000 free surgeries for children and young adults born with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities.

During the course of the silent auction we were able to spread the word of who this amazing organization is and what they do along with having a ton of fun and raising over $1000 to donate towards the cause. Our goal this year is to help raise a total of $3500 which would sponsor 14 surgeries this year to young children who need our help. Please help us be a community leader and spread the word of this organization so that we may protect both our future and theirs. Also stay in touch with us to see the upcoming events that we will be holding to help raise more awareness!
