World Smile Day® 2024

Lighting Up the World With Smiles

World Smile Day® 2024

One Night of Light

Two million life-changing cleft surgeries. More than 100,000 healthcare workers trained. For the past 25 years, we've lit more faces with smiles than every other cleft charity combined. To celebrate, we made smile history again — on October 4, World Smile Day®, we literally lit up the world with smiles, illuminating 64 landmarks around the world — a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title!

Thanks to our participating landmarks
