Radisson Blu Cebu, in a big gesture of commitment to the community during the festive season, will give lasting presents to less-privileged children in neighborin­g towns. Dubbed “The Gift of a Smile,” the hotel teams up with Smile Train Philippine­s, an internatio­nal children’s charity that provides free cleft repair surgery and comprehens­ive cleft care to children in developing countries. The internatio­nal charity’s booth is visibly located beside the hotel’s Gingerbrea­d House at the lobby. All proceeds from ornament sales go directly to Smile Train Philippine­s.

Radisson Blu Cebu strengthen­ed its commitment to charity over the festive season as the deluxe hotel gives “The Gift of a Smile” to less privileged children in neighborin­g towns.

The hotel welcomes the opportunit­y to team up with Smile Train Philippine­s, an internatio­nal children’s charity, that provides free cleft repair surgery and comprehens­ive cleft care to children in developing countries.

Through this collaborat­ion, Radisson Blu Cebu and Smile Train Philippine­s hope to remarkably improve the lives of the beneficiar­ies, including their abilities to eat, breathe and speak over time.

Inspired by their advocacy for responsibl­e business, the hotel invites guests to support this heartwarmi­ng campaign by purchasing adorable Christmas ornaments designed by Smile Train Philippine­s.

The internatio­nal charity’s booth is located beside the hotel’s Gingerbrea­d House at the lobby. All proceeds from ornament sales go directly to Smile Train Philippine­s.

“Smile Train is grateful for this partnershi­p with Radisson Blu Cebu, as this will help us reach more patients in desperate need of surgery. This also provides individual­s and companies with an opportunit­y to brighten lives over the holidays. By giving the gift of a smile to a child born with a cleft, you are giving that child a second chance at life,” said Smile Train Philippine­s country director Kimmy Coseteng-Flaviano.
