Honoring David Pincus

Who was David Pincus?

David N. Pincus (1926-2011) was a local philanthropist, art collector, and great friend and supporter of Smith who aimed to put a smile on every child’s face. Today we are honoring his legacy with Barely Scary Halloween, thanks to the Pincus Family Foundation; a private foundation with strong interest in issues pertaining to children and families, specifically in the areas of health, education, creative and performing arts, and play and recreation.
