About this Event

Join us for an inspiring evening dedicated to Creating Smiles and transforming the lives of children born with cleft lip and cleft palate conditions.

Enjoy handcrafted cocktails, delicious appetizers, live music, and meaningful connections as we come together to support a cause that changes lives around the world. Gather with friends, community leaders, and supporters for an unforgettable evening of impact and celebration.

This adults-only event will be held on Thursday, September 10, 2026, beginning at 6:00 p.m. at the Ellis. Thanks to the generous support of Zimmerman Boltz + Company, complimentary valet parking will be provided for all guests.

Throughout the evening, you will learn how Free to Smile's volunteer surgeons, dentists, anesthesiologists, and medical professionals are providing life-changing cleft lip and cleft palate surgeries, dental care, speech services, and hearing treatment to children in underserved communities around the world.

All proceeds from Creating Smiles will directly support Free to Smile's 2026 mission efforts, including expanded programs and new mission sites in Guatemala and Peru. Your support will help provide critical surgical and dental care to children who would otherwise go without treatment, giving them the opportunity to eat, speak, smile, and thrive.

Unable to attend? You can still make a difference. Donations are being accepted before, during, and after the event. This fundraising page will remain active leading up to and throughout the evening. A tax-deductible receipt will be emailed for all eligible donations.

Thank you for being the change and helping to change a life- one surgery at a time.
