FUNDRAISING AUCTION AND BRUNCH Our 12th annual ORC Auction & Brunch was held at the Newlands Golf Club in Langley, BC on May 2, 2010. Rose and Al Lane organized this event with Ron Gladiuk as the Master of Ceremonies and Bill Vander Zalm as the auctioneer. Over 240 persons came out to support a live auction, a silent auction (of over 200 items) and a wide variety of other fund raising activities. Over $25,000.00 was raised at this highly successful event.

MISSION STATEMENT Children with deformities are almost always alienated from society and restricted in their potential. Children with facial deformities, such as cleft lip and cleft palate, are further marginalized because of the dramatic nature of these abnormalities. Operation Rainbow Canada reaches out internationally by providing reconstructive surgery for these children and by sharing skills with local physicians. Operation Rainbow Canada volunteers, supported by donors, proudly represent Canada and promote understanding of the needs of developing countries.
