Words really seem inadequate to express our gratitude to everyone who made our 2018 Smart Futures Dinner a memorable, uplifting success. With 300 people in attendance, this event was a testament to the ongoing support from our community for the Club's mission to give the gift of a great future to our young people.

Because of our staff and event committee's hard work, the gym at our Jeffers Unit was completely transformed into a beautiful banquet hall, totally fit for a decadent Olde Richmond Inn dinner and powerful presentations from our speakers!

Through the Campaign for Tobacco Free-Kids, Kick Butts Day is an incredible, interactive program that educates youth about the costs and dangers of using tobacco. Kids can touch and see real pigs' lungs demonstrating side-by-side the physical effects of tobacco smoke, study quality diagrams that showcase the damages of nicotine and tobacco, and the ever-popular inflatable jousting match with a giant cigarette!
