"Keep Hope Alive" - Two Fundraisers for Simply Smiles Remain

The first of three spring fundraisers in Connecticut for Simply Smiles, Inc. was a huge success. It raised over $125,000 for Simply Smiles in two hours. Thank you all.

Help us to continue to provide bright futures for impoverished children by coming out to one of the two remaining "Keep Hope Alive" benefits.

The evenings feature free admittance, cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, special music by singer/songwriter Kristen Graves, a presentation of Simply Smiles programs by founder Bryan Nurnberger (born and raised in Naugatuck,) and the opportunity to support children in need.

Everyone is welcome.

Singer/songwriter and state troubadour Kristen Graves channels her passion for Simply Smiles into her music. Inspired by single mothers living in a garbage dump, by children living on an Indian Reservation, and by their supporters, she performs what she feels and experiences.

Kristen’s song, “Keep Hope Alive” inspired these events. And she will be with them at all three fundraisers this year to share with you a live performance. But if you can’t wait, you can listen to and download her song right here!
