The Ritz-Carlton Shenzhen has announced its participation in Smile Asia Week (May 5-11, 2014), when they will sell limited-edition cakes to raise funds for Operation Smile, an international children’s medical charity which helps give children with cleft lips or palates worldwide a reason to smile again.
Ten thousand ladies and gentlemen from The Ritz-Carlton in 20 hotels will bake 15,000 specially crafted cakes which will result in 500 life-changing surgeries to underprivileged children across Asia.
The Ritz-Carlton Hotels of China have created a limited-edition Valrhona chocolate banana cake, marrying two popular flavors into one luxurious combination that appeals to people of all ages and all occasions.
Since 1982, Operation Smile has treated more than 200,000 children in 51 countries, free of charge, while training thousands of medical professionals in the process and leaving behind necessary equipment to foster long-term self-sufficiency. Thanks to Operation Smile, more than 27,000 children and young adults in China have been treated for cleft lips and palates, while in India, more than 15,000 individuals have been given a new lease on life. Children with clefts are often unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. Operation Smile provides free surgeries to heal the smiles of children and transform their lives from as little as US$800 per surgery.
Guests in Shenzhen can order the limited-edition cake at Flavorz, All Day Dining Restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton, Shenzhen. Cakes will sell for RMB288 and all proceeds go to the charity.
