‹ Dr. Pat’s RecipeBox: Savory Chicken and Pasta • Aly & AJ in the Race to Erase MS ›
Lots of newlyweds can’t stop smiling, and Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are no exception — they seem really happy with their slightly rash decision to get hitched, so we’ll go ahead and be happy for them. We’re especially happy for them now that we see the couple is spending some of their honeymoon period at charity events.
Mariah and Nick spent an evening at the Skylight Studio in New York City at the 5th Annual Operation Smile event. Operation Smile is an organization through which volunteers work to “repair childhood facial deformities while building public and private partnerships that advocate for sustainable healthcare systems for children and families.”
The testimonials are truly touching. In just 45 minutes, for as little as $240, Operation Smile allows a child who otherwise could not afford to have surgery to correct a cleft lip to receive the surgery and treatment that will let them lead a normal life.
Mr. and Mrs. Cannon might not be spokespeople (yet), but other celebs have gotten on board with Operation Smile, including Jessica Simpson and Roma Downey. To learn more about the charity and to see how you can help, check out the Operation Smile website.
