Supporters
Over the past 32 years, my teams and I have earned the trust and support of more than 3 million people from 92 different countries. Our supporters came in all shapes and sizes, all colors and religions, young and old, rich and poor, liberal and conservative.
The one thing they all had in common was the desire to rescue a desperate child or adult who would never have received surgery unless someone helped them. Our various charities gave our supporters the opportunity to be that someone, to change someone's life forever, through a simple surgery that cost next to nothing.
I had the good fortune to meet thousands of our supporters and they taught me a lot about compassion, generosity, and life. I learned that helping others is the most selfish thing you can do in life - because you ALWAYS get more out of it than you put it! " Co-Founder of Smile Train - Brian F. Mullaney
