Operation Smile Gala 2021

Operation Smile has provided over 220,000 surgeries for children and young adults born with cleft lips, cleft palates, and other facial deformities in over 60 countries since 1982, at no cost to the recipients. As one of the host committee members of Operation Smile Gala, Dr. Emmanuel De La Cruz and Blaine Ochoa (Miss Houston 2019) attended the Smile Gala to support this amazing charity event that will help countless children with cleft lip and cleft palate deformities. We hope that in a few months, Dr. Emmanuel De La Cruz will be able to go to the Philippines again to help indigent children with cleft lip and cleft palate. Let’s help support Operation Smile. Help Us to help others.
