FUNDS WILL BE BENEFITING: Hospitalized children in Los Angeles & around the world.

Project Om is raising funds to support the missions of mama earth & Operation Smile by helping to bring the healing power of music and art to hospitalized children in Los Angeles and around the world. All donations for Project Om will provide for the needs and supplies to support a platform for these children to engage in creativity and connection during their process of recovery & healing through music & art.

To help support our fundraising efforts, we will be hosting an epic fundraiser at the Library Lounge in the Redbury Hotel in Hollywood.

Please join us on Friday, March 31 from 6:30pm-9:30pm @ the REDBURY HOTEL (1717 Vine St, Hollywood CA) for the NIGHT OF LIGHT event & enjoy an art auction, live music, poetry and artistic performances.

MORE ABOUT OUR MISSION WITH PROJECT OM:

WHAT: Project Om is an initiative to empower children by creating a platform for them to engage in creative arts while benefiting from the healing properties of helping others.

WHY: The word Om represents connecting to oneself while also connecting to others. Helping others leads to improved self-esteem, psychological well-being and happiness.

HOW: Hospitalized children will benefit from either live music or engagement in therapeutic art activities. Activities will be specially designed to help foster confidence and self-esteem, while facilitating self-expression. A framework will be set up to initiate and maintain a “Pay It Forward” campaign whereby children create artwork and send it to children at another hospital.

WHEN: The program will be launched in Spring or early summer of 2017

ABOUT OPERATION SMILE:

Operation Smile is an international medical charity that has provided hundreds of thousands of free surgeries for children and young adults in developing countries who are born with cleft lip, cleft palate or other facial deformities. It is one of the oldest and largest volunteer-based organizations dedicated to improving the health and lives of children worldwide through access to surgical care. Since 1982, Operation Smile has developed expertise in mobilizing volunteer medical teams to conduct surgical missions in resource-poor environments while adhering to the highest standards of care and safety. Operation Smile helps to fill the gap in providing access to safe, well-timed surgeries by partnering with hospitals, governments and ministries of health, training local medical personnel, and donating much-needed supplies and equipment to surgical sites around the world. Founded and based in Virginia, U.S., Operation Smile has extended its global reach to more than 60 countries through its network of credentialed surgeons, pediatricians, doctors, nurses, and student volunteers.
