KSS STORY:

This May 25th 2026 WILL tragically mark the 30th year Kristin has been missing. She is dearly missed... An unimaginable length of time without Kristin and a frustratingly long nightmare for the Smart family. Through the Kristin Smart Scholarship, we can ensure Kristin's legacy and memory are never forgotten. We ensure her memory with (annually awarded) monetary college scholarships to like-minded college-bound women to pursue their dreams.

Your donation makes a difference!! Our self-sustaining fundraiser began Jan 1st 2026 and will run until midnight Dec 31, 2026. This fundraiser will ensure another two $4,000 are fully funded in 2026. Your gift is fully tax deductible. Since 2017, we've been a recognized 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

Over nearly a decade of fundraising we’ve awarded $100,000 plus in scholarships to 35+ award recipients. We thank you!

Our goal is simple to ensure the Kristin Smart Scholarship for decades to come! Please consider a one-time, monthly or annual sustaining gift. In advance we say thank you!!

We miss her EVERYDAY and know she would be honored by your love and support.

With Sincere Gratitude,

The KSS Team
