Founded in March 2011. First “smile” completed in May 2011.
Mission: To bring smiles to the faces of children and young adults affected by serious illnesses and their families. Through gifts and fun days, we endeavor to help them forget, maybe for just one moment, what they are going through.
Programs: We create special days and give gifts to children, teenagers and young adults battling serious and life-threatening health issues. Past “smiles” have included trips, concert tickets, room makeovers, gifts of technology and accessible recreation equipment to help children with physical disabilities.
How has the organization been affected by the pandemic? We have not been able to do our major fundraisers, including our annual silent auction and golf tournament. We can’t send people on trips right now, but we have been able to purchase lots of gifts. Two recent examples are a go-cart and a dirt bike.
Biggest needs: We would love donation items for our silent auction and always appreciate volunteers for our events. We are 100% volunteer, so all the money raised goes right to the kids.
Ways to help: Stay tuned for when we are able to resume our events and fundraisers. In the meantime, donations and referrals are accepted on the website.
