For 25 years, SMASH has believed in the potential of students long before the world sees it.

Through rigorous STEM learning and a powerful community of support, SMASH equips high school scholars with the confidence, skills, and networks needed to thrive in college and in careers.

Today, that investment is delivering measurable results:

100% of SMASH seniors are accepted into college.
85% graduate within five years, compared to 55% nationally.
70%+ go on to earn STEM degrees or enter STEM careers.
30% of annual seasonal Academy staff are SMASH Alumni

This anniversary is more than a milestone. It’s proof that long-term investment in young people creates lasting outcomes.

To celebrate this milestone, the SMASH Board of Directors is offering a match challenge. They have generously committed to match every donation dollar for dollar between now and the end of September 2026. Every gift, no matter the size, brings us closer to reaching that goal. Join one of our teams, or create your own to help us SMASH the MATCH!

Thank you for celebrating this milestone with us and for considering a gift in support of this campaign. Together, we can help open doors for the next generation of innovators, leaders, and changemakers.

With gratitude,

The SMASH TEAM & ALUMNI
