MESA, Ariz., Nov. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The almost 120,000 young users of the online chore chart, MyJobChart.com , will now have a chance to help bring a smile to others by giving to Operation Smile.

My Job Chart announced this week that Operation Smile has been added as one of its premier charities, all part of the unique My Job Chart approach, that provides children the opportunity to  "save," "spend" or "share" the points they earn from doing their chores.

"When I first created the online chore chart, I did so to encourage my own six children to stay on task and to complete their chores and practices," says Gregg Murset, founder of MyJobChart.com. "More than that, though, I wanted to teach them how money works and help them see the rewards that come from saving and the joy that can come from giving to others."

Murset says Operation Smile perfectly fits with what MyJobChart is accomplishing.

As one of the most prominent children's charities in the world, Operation Smile provides reconstructive surgery for children born with a cleft lip, cleft palate or other facial deformities. "With a presence in over 60 countries, we are able to heal children's smiles and bring hope for a better future," the organization's website states.  

"As users of My Job Chart decide to 'share' and designate the points they earn to go to Operation Smile or another charity, these young people begin to feel that their work truly does matter. More than just pleasing their parents, they learn they have abilities and opportunities that can make a difference on a much grander scale," says Murset.

While young users are drawn to the free online chore chart for its ease of use and the high-tech feel they love, parents are pleased with the less-obvious benefits of My Job Chart.

My Job Chart "gets kids and parents talking," Murset says.

"I've seen what My Job Chart has done for our kids over time as far as helping them accept responsibility and building aspects of their character and how these benefits accumulate."

Bottom line, Murset says, "It's free, and it works. MyJobChart.com is just a fun, easy way to instill work ethic and build character over time. Now, with the opportunity to contribute to Operation Smile, it's a way to do even more to bring added smiles to users and to others."
