The foundation supports community youth programs in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and Greater Houston Areas and focuses on literacy and education. Smith feels strongly about giving back to the communities that helped him succeed. He believes that the best way to do this is by encouraging kids to expand their minds by becoming avid readers and to also make obtaining a college defree a realistic goal in life.
