What they do: Gator Smiles raises money for the organization Love Without Boundaries and supports the craniofacial clinics of Shands and UF.  Love Without Boundaries provides orphans in China with cleft lip/palate surgeries.  Gator Smiles organizes fundraisers such as car washes, frisbee tournaments, 5k walks/runs, and bake sales.  To support the craniofacial department at Shands, members of Gator Smiles bring cards and gift baskets to the children.  They also sometimes make bears at Build-A-Bear Workshops to give to the children.  

What YOU can do to help:  If you are a college student at UF and would like to be a part of this service organization, contact Stephanie Uhazie or check the website for the date of their next meeting.  They meet on certain Thursdays at 7:15 p.m. in the Reitz Union Room 285.
