Anthony Demott who is a big part of the SterlingRisk Family and Banana Brigade (yellow team) is running an Ironman Triathlon yes, I said a triathlon) to raise funds for Dakota Anderson who is one of many suffers from neurofibromatosis – a rare incurable tumor disease. It affects millions worldwide. In addition – Tony is dedicating the race to his daughter who was tragically killed by a vehicle back in 2002.

We are looking to raise as much money as possible for Tony by 10/29. Sterling has offered to match whatever we can raise.

Let’s get behind Tony and open our pockets for a great cause.

This summer, the GREEN Team raised $500 for the SmileTrain mission. Read the Thank You Letter from SmileTrain from our donation.

“I am delighted to acknowledge your gift to Smile Train and your generous support of our mission and vision that every child born with a cleft – anywhere in the world – has the opportunity to live a full, productive life.

In just 15 years, Smile Train has grown to become the world’s largest cleft charity because of the support we receive from donors like you, enabling us to provide more than 128,000 cleft surgeries per year.

We hope to set a new record in 2014, and we promise to put your gift to good use by providing safe, high-quality and free cleft care to children who are desperate for the hope we provide.

Friends like you are truly changing the world for the boys and girls whose families are too poor to afford lifesaving and life-changing surgical cleft repair. Thanks to you, these children are receiving new smiles and second chances at life.

We wish you could be there to see the children smile for the first time in their lives it would warm your heart and reaffirm the importance of reaching out to children. Instead, we will send you a photo in a few months of a child who was helped by your generosity so you can see the permanent difference you’ve made in his or her life.

From our staff here at Smile Train, many thanks!”
