Operation Smile Thailand helps provide free reconstructive surgery to poor children and young adults born with cleft lips, cleft palates and craniofacial deformities. The charity also develops and provides post-operative care such as dental programs and after surgery speech therapy programs for patients and parents.
The eight boxers, who have been training for four to six months prior to the event, comprise of such bastions of industry as a COO for Dusit International Group, a publisher, and a CEO of a fitness center, among others.

Organizers are hoping to raise THB3 million, which will go towards helping more than 100 children receive free surgery from volunteer doctors.
