In the wake of profound loss due to senseless gun violence, the GSJ Foundation has become a force for positive change, embodying the resilience of the Smith family. Established in memory of Gregory, whose promising life was tragically cut short on August 12, 2020, the foundation stands as a tribute to transform pain into purpose.

This year, as part of our commitment to community and gratitude, the Gregory Smith Junior Foundation proudly presents "Blessings Over Bullets: A GSJ Foundation Thanksgiving" This special event aims to bring families together, fostering unity and gratitude in the face of adversity.

Benefiting families from Excel Kids Academy, the Thanksgiiving Drive ensures that each family receives a protein (frozen turkey, pork roast, or chicken) and a bag of nonperishable foods for a complete feast. Through this initiative, we not only honor Gregory's memory but also provide tangible support to families in Miami Gardens.

As we gather to share in the spirit of thankfulness, let us extend a helping hand to those who need it most. Join us in turning bullets into blessings and showing that, even in the face of tragedy, our community remains strong, united, and grateful. Your support ensures that 100 families can find solace in the warmth of a Thanksgiving meal.
