Manitowoc, WI- For the second year, the Dramm Corporation is pleased to announce that it will be supporting the non-profit organization, FREE TO SMILE, during our annual "Springing Hope" effort.

During the month of May, The Dramm Corporation will be "Gardening for Smiles!" Last year, in our first philanthropic effort, the Dramm Corporation donated enough money to provide eleven cleft lip surgeries or the cost of running an operating room for an entire day plus three surgeries.

FREE TO SMILE is a small organization based in Columbus, Ohio that works to provide free surgical repair of cleft lip and palate in children and adults in remote areas of the world where care is not accessible. This organization accomplishes admirable work with a very small staff and a handful of volunteers. They change lives one person at a time, giving hope to children who are shunned because of a fixable, physical imperfection. In one week, this organization repaired 39 children and young adults giving them normalcy and enabling confidence so that they can share a smile. In the last year, Free to Smile organized and completed nine missions around the world.

Max Dramm Becker volunteered with Free To Smile in Guatemala in 2013. During that week, their group of volunteer doctors, nurses, and staff helped 39 kids and their families. Many of the families traveled great distances with hope of surgical repair for their child.

We are happy to support this good work by providing a financial donation to FREE TO SMILE. During the month of May, when we are all hopeful for spring, your purchase of a Dramm gardening tool will do more good than just making your plants bloom! Your purchase will help complete a smile.

Good things bloom when we all help. Plant a seed of hope.
