Smile Train Charity Ball 2007 raises Over US$ 300,000 in Hong Kong: "More than 260 participants from around the world came to Hong Kong to attend this unique international charity event. Over US$300,000 has so far been raised through the dinner as well as live and silent auctions in order to provide high-quality, accredited cleft lip and palate surgeries and awareness programmes in developing countries. The sum is expected to climb much higher once final calculations have been made. It costs just US$250 for the simple 45-minute cleft operation that transforms a child’s life – already 1,200 children will receive operations as the result of this event."
