Their styles and genres may be different, but Aimie Laws and Shelby Babakioff do have something special and very positive in common: they are both dedicated humanitarians.
The two solo indie artists have embarked on a B.C.-based “Smile Tour” that will allow the women to do what they love and raise money for a project they both cherish – Operation Smile, an international children’s medical charity that literally puts smiles on children’s faces.
In addition to helping others, Laws and Babakioff work well as a team and support one another’s careers.
Throughout The Smile Tour, the women hope to help change lives one smile at a time by spreading awareness of how Operation Smile provides free surgeries to repair cleft palate and other facial deformities for children around the globe.
Part of the concert proceeds will be donated to Operation Smile.
Laws and Babakioff will perform in Salmon Arm Thursday, Aug. 15, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Chiang Mai Orchid Restaurant as part of the Routes and Blues Music Crawl.
