Support Steven Smithhart Memorial Foundation's Mission
Transforming Lives with Steven Smithhart Memorial Foundation
Our Mission
We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Our mission is to support those in need and create lasting, positive changes within our communities.
Our foundation was established in memory of Steven; a compassionate and selfless individual who tragically lost his life in an automobile accident. Known for his generosity and kind spirit, Steven never hesitated to help others. Inspired by his legacy, we created this organization to carry forward his values and honor his memory.
West Texas, a hub for the oilfield industry, has experienced a significant increase in traffic over recent years—leading to a troubling rise in accidents and fatalities. In response, our foundation raises funds to support local first responders (mainly volunteer fire departments) with vital equipment needed to save lives and to award scholarships to deserving high school seniors from several high schools in the West Texas area.
One of our main fundraising efforts is a sanctioned State Championship Cook-Off (The Tried & True Helping Hands Cook-Off), which brings the community together in support of these causes. The event includes a BBQ cook off with cook teams from all over Texas and other states, a concert, auctions, raffles, gun boards, awards ceremony, and more. This event is the lifeline in our efforts to provide the much-needed equipment for the first responders and to be able to help shape the future of our youth by awarding scholarships to graduating seniors. We will also have smaller events (examples – raffles, gunboards, and more) throughout the year to help build up our scholarship fund.
We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our First Responder Donation Program and meet our Scholarship Recipients—both are the heart of our mission.
Thank you for your support and for helping us make a difference.
