This is more than double last year’s total. Funds will help 84 children get new smiles
St. Mary's College is celebrating a record-breaking year after raising just over $10,000 for its Operation Smile campaign - more than double the total raised last year.
"Through spirited activities such as dodgeball tournaments, custom crewneck sales, and a hugely successful cookie fundraiser, students united in purpose and exceeded their fundraising goals. The campaign’s success reflects SMC’s deep-rooted commitment to social justice, with Grade 12 students integrating the initiative into their religion coursework, emphasizing hands-on acts of service and compassion." St.
For many students, Operation Smile isn’t just a school campaign—it’s deeply personal. Gr. 12 student Danielle Baril has been connected to the cause since her first year at SMC. “I was watching a documentary about children with cleft conditions when my five-year-old daughter joined me,” Trecroce explained. “She noticed how different these children looked and related it to her own experience wearing an eye patch for vision correction. Her empathy moved her to donate her birthday gifts to sponsor surgeries. That act of compassion sparked the idea for Operation Smile at SMC, and it’s been growing ever since.
