See You This Saturday May 1st!
If you would like to attend the gala, please contact Paul Vazquez at paul@allianceforsmiles.org or 415.779.2569
The theme of the gala is the Roaring 20’s, as we are ready to roar back from this pandemic. Please feel free to wear anything from 20s inspired flapper dresses or suits (if you want to get fancy) to your favorite pajamas or sweats (if you want to be Zoom-casual) – or anything in between. We hope you’ll join us in having a glass of something you love on hand to toast our amazing honorees.

Welcome to our favorite time of year: the annual Night of Smiles
The Night of Smiles is a time when we come together to celebrate the amazing volunteers and donors who dedicate their time, talents, and resources to helping Alliance for Smiles (AfS) forever transform the lives of children living in poverty halfway around the world. It is also a crucial part of fundraising to support this continued life-changing work for more children and communities in need.
One in ten children born with cleft lip or palate conditions around the world are killed at or shortly after birth due to the condition. Those who survive face manifold health, mental, and emotional challenges, and often suffer abuse and abandonment by their own families and communities.
While this is a highly treatable condition, requiring an initial surgery that takes about an hour and a half, children born into places without trained medical teams or who cannot afford the treatment suffer unimaginable consequences.
The volunteers and donors who support AfS in its mission make it possible for children all over the world to receive the treatment they need and for local medical teams to receive the training and equipment to build the local capacity to sustainably provide long-term care.
COVID brought massive challenges but also fantastic innovations to our work. We had to adapt to changing circumstances and expand our programs to include the remote training of medical teams around the world. This was so successful that it will become a permanent part of our offerings and it was only possible thanks to the continued support of AfS donors and volunteers. None of this is possible without you!

Notice – Mission Participation Fee Increase:
Due to rising costs associated with international travel, the trip participation fee will increase to $525 for all missions occurring after May 1, 2026. This adjustment will allow us to continue covering mission expenses such as hotel accommodations, meals, and travel health insurance for all volunteers, so that we can ensure teams are well-supported and cared for throughout the mission.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication. Your involvement makes life-changing transformation and care possible for children and families around the world. If you have any questions or feedback, please do not hesitate to Contact Us.
