Smile Colombia Foundation (SCF)

Dear Friends,

We would very much like to take this opportunity to introduce to you the Smile Colombia Foundation (SCF), a 501(c)(3) non-profit established in Oklahoma whose mission is to provide impoverished Colombian children with academic and social development.

Over the past 4 years SCF has directly impacted the lives of more than 1,800 children at risk who tragically belong to the more than 40 percent of households that live in poverty. In order to make a meaningful contribution to this future generation, we have provided school supplies, infrastructure improvement, scholarships, computers, leadership seminars, recreational activities, medical assistance and family workshops to eleven communities in need.

To increase awareness and raise funds for our mission, SCF leaders all around the world continue to organize social projects in Colombia. Leaders are now in the early stages of the next project, which is aimed at helping 80 children between the ages of 5-12 years, in the locality of Rionegro in the department of Santander. Our goal for this fundraising effort is that of $2500 which will go to these children in the form of a year’s worth of school supplies. Organized during a one-day event in the latter part of 2014, the children will receive health and education seminars, snacks and drinks for the day activities and finally a new backpack each with their own school supplies for the upcoming school year.

We would be honored if you would help make this event a great success by considering becoming a sponsor of Santander 2014. Please take a moment to discuss any details or information about SCF with Angela Castaneda or visit us online. Should you be able to make a commitment to support our mission, the deadline is October 20, 2014. Fr

We thank you in advance for considering a sponsorship opportunity to help us continue delivering smiles and education to all the children we serve.
