We believe charity is important, and want to help make a positive difference.  In particular, the mission and work of The Smile Train touch me in a deep way.   The ease with which such a permanent difference can be made in the life of a single individual is powerful motivation to encourage giving.   Whether you win the auction or not, or even if you choose not to participate, I hope you'll consider making a donation to The Smile Train now or in the future (or both).
