Bill and Kathy Magee are philanthropists with a desire to serve and a willingness to sacrifice. Foregoing lucrative careers in the medical field, they opted to go to the Philippines and perform surgical procedures on children with birth defects. They called their philanthropic organization “Operation Smile” because many of the procedures were in or around the mouth. These medical procedures have helped 150,000 children in fifty countries, many of which discriminate against children with birth defects. Bill and Kathy Magee saw a need, and decided to use their particular skills to address the need.
