Gifts of Hope in Honor of Nathan Looney

Nathan Looney talked often about his love for the life-changing work of Operation Smile . Although Nathan worked with many different social good organizations throughout his career, masterfully and thoughtfully helping them improve their websites and digital fundraising strategy, Operation Smile was one in particular that held special meaning in his heart.

 

“If you are looking for a cause to support I recommend Operation Smile,” he mentioned in a social media post. “They change lives. They bring dignity. They restore hope. Cleft conditions threaten the welfare of kids that suffer from them in ways that are far greater than cosmetic. A simple surgery that only costs $240 creates a lasting change that restores hope and grants unlimited possibilities.”

 

Today, you can restore hope and grant unlimited possibilities to more children around the world—and honor our Nathan, who passed away unexpectedly and far too soon. Anything you can give toward Nathan’s Smile Fund will make a difference, and help a cause Nathan cared so deeply for.

 

“We don’t know what will happen next year. We can’t see what the month ahead will bring. We can’t predict the outcomes of the coming week. Even the full story of tomorrow is a mystery. What we know is the here and now. Take control of that. Use it. Bless it for yourself and others. Because when you do that, tomorrow, the week and month ahead, even the coming year will be based on what you do today. Love fully, give freely.”
