2017's Impact:

~Raised more awareness for Operation Smile and its mission to help provide cleft lip/cleft surgeries in underdeveloped nations.
The "What Makes You Smile?" Art Contest features artwork from elementary aged students from Jefferson County. The children center their work around the prompt "What Makes You Smile?" The artwork is dedicated towards raising awareness and money for Operation Smile, a nonprofit organization. Operation Smile Louisville (OPSL), a University of Louisville student-run branch, offers this contest annually. Sponsorships of this project raise money for cleft palate surgeries in underdeveloped nations. Of course the best part is drawing out some young talent to help raise awareness for a great cause!
