We received this thank you and a brief history from William Magee (their founder), from Operation Smile after we sent them one of our couples wedding favor donation. We hope more couples become aware of the wonderful work of the inspiring service they provide for needy children around the world. Visit their website and check it out.

“My wife Kathy and I are deeply grateful that Truffles for a Cause has reached out to help give a beautiful smile to a hurting child. We hope you’ll experience again and again the great joy that comes from knowing you’ve change a child’s life forever. Let me tell you how it all started. In 1982, Kathy and I went to the Philippines to provide surgeries for children born with cleft lip and cleft palate. About 300 girls and boys came for surgery and we could help only 40 of them. It was heart-wrenching to turn the others away. So we recruited a group of friends to go back and take care of those precious kids.

That was the first Operation Smile  medical mission – our first team. Since then, we’ve changed over 160,000 lives in more than 60 countries. We’ve also trained thousands of local surgeons and other medical professionals to continue our work in their own countries. Thanks to friends like you , children who have suffered far too long are getting new smiles and new lives. Again, I’m thrilled that you’ve chosen to be a part of our inspiring and fulling work. Thank you!”

      Ashley and Bryan celebrated their special day by using the popular military charity Wounded Warrior Project as their wedding donation. Many of our clients have shown their preference for a military charity. Wounded Warrior Project, Homes For Our Troops, Semper Fi Fund, Fisher House Foundation, Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, Operation Homefront and Disabled American Veterans are the major known military charities, but their are many more. Their favors were our Foil Assortment favors that contains four assorted foil truffles – dark chocolate, milk chocolate, milk amaretto and dark raspberry chocolate all nested in hand-cut lace paper. Their favor boxed were our natural kraft (2) piece dessert boxes tied with printed light blue and grappa ribbons.
