We want to provide opportunities for all young people to live a better life. Our donations are intended for all children in need, regardless of their race, religion or background. We strive to create a better world, and we thank you all for helping us make it happen.
We were born almost 100 years ago, thanks to John Smith, the child of immigrants, who grew up loving this country and the people around it. Smith began his charitable endeavors by donating the farm he was raised on to start a summer camp for children in underprivileged towns. Since then, its activities have grown, prospered and diversified.
