What
The 9th Annual Houston Smile Gala will celebrate the hundreds of thousands of life-changing surgeries provided by Operation Smile in more than 60 countries around the globe since 1982.
You have the power to transform a child’s world—giving them the ability to eat, speak, and live a healthier and happier life. Your impact also extends beyond the operating room; we invest in local medical education, training, and infrastructure to bring these essential services closer to those in need.
Your generosity ripples through local communities across the globe, ensuring that every child, regardless of geography, receives the care they need and deserve. Join us in creating smiles that last a lifetime!
Please consider joining us for this glamorous occasion and help us reach our goal of building hope!
