SMILE is more than a cute acronym to encourage you to bend the corners of your mouth upwards; it is a statement of truth for many people. Significant Moments Impact Lives Eternally, and that impact is experienced daily...for what can feel like an eternity.

SMILE Project Empowers, Inc. is a 501(c)3 organization that believes education and connection with others are necessary to strengthen individuals and build communities. Through theme-specific programming, we enrich the lives of participants in ways that are reflective of their areas of need.

Building Opportunities That Nurture Development and Strength

Join SMILE Project Empowers for BONDS, an initiative launched last year to support the healthy development of boys through meaningful connection and shared experiences with the important adults in their lives.

Our first BONDS experience of 2026 brings boys together with the significant women who support them for a fun and engaging outing at Topgolf, where shared activities create space for bonding, conversation, and connection.

This event is open to boys and the women who support them, including mothers, aunts, grandmothers, mentors, and other significant caregivers, who play an important role in their growth and development. Through interactive activities and quality time, BONDS creates opportunities to build relationships, foster trust, and strengthen the foundation that helps boys thrive.

Come connect. Come grow. Come bond.
