Day 40

Today we are highlighting one of our community partners:  the J M Smith Corporation and the J M Smith Foundation.  Giving back to, serving and improving the communities where they live and work is one of the core values of the J M Smith Corporation. Through the J M Smith Foundation, they fulfill this value by funding programs, advocating for communities, and being a good example and steward for the towns where their business units are based.  For more than 20 years, they have really taken this to heart when it comes to the students at the South Carolina School for the Deaf and the Blind (SCSDB).  The J M Smith Corporation and J M Smith Foundation have donated over $360,000 to benefit the students at the South Carolina School for the Deaf and the Blind.  These donations have come through event sponsorships, employee gifts and corporate matching, and donations to projects.  The J M Smith Foundation was the Presenting Sponsor of our So You Think You Can Cook Chili Cook-Off for 11 years.  The projects supported by the J M Smith Corporation and J M Smith Foundation range from helping us build new playgrounds on campus to providing our students with water bottle filling stations in every building on campus.  We would not have been able to accomplish these projects that have made such an impact on the lives of our students without the J M Smith Corporation and the J M Smith Foundation.  We are so thankful for all our partners who help us engage, empower, and equip our students for success.
