Miles for Smiles: Buy a Smile. Win a Car

Medical Missions for Children (MMFC) is a Woburn, Massachusetts 

based 501(c)(3) nonprofit which has been providing health and hope to children around the world for over 24 years. 

On April 16th, 2014 they announced they will be raffling off a Mercedes SL550 2 year lease. All proceeds will go directly to fund their missions.


Overall, the need is staggering. More than 170,000 
children are born with cleft lip and palate deformities each year. Currently, there is a backlog of over one million children and adults waiting for this surgery.  MMFC provides its surgeries free of charge to these children, who would otherwise never have access to this care. This surgery resolves health complications and speech impediments and most important, restores dignity to a child and his family. Children who receive this surgery are given the opportunity to stay in school and become productive members of the community.
