This event is a fundraiser for Operation Smile which is a highly effective and impactful 501(c)(3) organization (Tax ID 54-1460147) committed to providing exceptional surgical care across the world to children born with cleft lip or cleft palate. Operation Smile is an international medical charity that has provided hundreds of thousands of free surgeries for children and young adults in developing countries who are born with cleft lip, cleft palate or other facial deformities. It is one of the oldest and largest volunteer-based organizations dedicated to improving the health and lives of children worldwide through access to surgical care. Since 1982, Operation Smile has developed expertise in mobilizing volunteer medical teams to conduct surgical missions in resource-poor environments while adhering to the highest standards of care and safety. Operation Smile helps to fill the gap in providing access to safe, well-timed surgeries by partnering with hospitals, governments and ministries of health, training local medical personnel, and donating much-needed supplies and equipment to surgical sites around the world. Founded and based in Virginia, U.S., Operation Smile has extended its global reach to more than 60 countries through its network of credentialed surgeons, pediatricians, doctors, nurses, and student volunteers.

Every 3 minutes, a child is born with cleft lip or cleft palate. Most do not survive their first birthday due to poor medical care and lack of access to safe surgery. Operation Smile has the scale and organizational capacity to help solve this problem and make a real difference. A single life-changing smile takes only 45 minutes of surgery at an approximate cost of $240.

So bring your friends and your A game to this tournament. Enjoy the day, have fun and help support Operation Smile in their mission. All net proceeds from the tournament will be donated to Operation Smile.
