Philippines: 'Operation Bingo' Scores Big Impact

Ariya Nguyen shares this update from Operation Smile Manila Chapter from the Philippines:

"Operation Bingo was a fun and exciting bingo fundraiser at the International School Manila on March 28! Students, staff, and parents from the ISM community were able to participate in the event to raise money for cleft surgeries done by Operation Smile Philippines. We collaborated with other companies — Colgate, Saucony, and more — and gave out prizes. We ended up garnering around 38k PHP, which is about US$680 from our sponsorships and bingo card payments!

In order to advertise our event, we were able to get sponsorships from Saucony, Colgate, and other companies to support our cause. In our collaboration with Saucony, we were able to give 4kPHP vouchers for each bingo card someone bought, garnering more traction and attention for our fundraiser! We also made daily TikToks one week leading up to the day!"
