WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Cydcor, the leading provider of outsourced, face-to-face sales teams, names Operation Smile this year's official corporate cause.  The international children's medical charity treats facial deformities, such as cleft lips and palates, around the globe.  Cydcor is partnering with its network of independently owned and operated offices to raise funds for the organization.

"This is the first time that we have adopted a charitable organization on this scale – it's a great way to exercise team building among our offices," said Gary Polson, chief executive officer of Cydcor.  "Cydcor is proud to support an organization that improves the quality of so many lives."

Cydcor's 3rd annual Charity Tournament during R&R Owner's weekend at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach kicked off the company's support.  Each competing team paid a $100 entry fee and 100 percent of the entry fees were collected and donated to Operation Smile.  With 16 competing teams, $1,600 was raised and donated during this tournament; however, this is just the start of the company's collective efforts.

Cydcor is partnering with its network of independently owned and operated sales offices to reach a goal of $150,000 in order to support an Operation Smile medical mission, currently slated to take place in Peru.  Offices are establishing their own "smile" campaign support pages and have fundraising goals starting at $1,000 per office.  Cydcor has established its own "smile" page with a goal of $21,000 – enough to pay for 90 surgeries, each costing approximately $240.

"The need for quality cleft care is urgent; there are so many children around the world who desperately need our help," said Dr. Bill Magee, Founder and CEO of Operation Smile. "We are grateful for the generosity of our supporters and volunteers. It is only with their help that we can continue to give new smiles and transform the lives of our patients."
