Smith is essential! Donate to our Annual Appeal campaign today

November 2020

Dear Smith Friend,

For LaNeshe and Sage (and thousands of other families), Smith has become an essential part of the pandemic recovery.

Words alone will never fully reflect what a long, hard year this has been — for families and for Smith.

In spite of the many challenges, we are proud to report that we have not wavered from our dedication to developing healthy, happy and thriving children — but we couldn’t do it alone.

Now more than ever, we need your help as we work to  —

• Provide in-home playful learning programs through our new mobile app and a new television program called Smith Play Jawn.
• Support local schools by inviting them to use our Playground for outdoor learning opportunities that expand in-person learning and supplement virtual learning
• Provide care packages filled with nonperishable food items, formula, and diapers for local families in need
• Help families process issues of diversity, equity and inclusion through our “Never Too Young for Justice” series
• Offer COVID-safe family entertainment such as our virtual children’s music concert (Play Jam), Healthy Halloween, Winter Wonderland, and more.

So please, won’t you consider making a donation to Smith Memorial Playground to help fund these and other important programs?

A small donation of just $25 or more will help us make it through this very difficult year and provide the resources to make an even bigger difference.

UNICEF says, “Children are not the face of this pandemic. But they risk being among its biggest victims…”  Together, we can help children navigate these difficult times!  Your support is essential for making this possible.

Executive Director
