Leadership Dinner

Each January at our Leadership Dinner, leadership givers, local company executives, nonprofit directors, and our local United Way leadership gather together to celebrate the collective impact that we make here in Smith County. Each year, we honor an individual who has embodied what it means to serve our local neighbors and community.

Golf Tournament

Each March, the United Way of Smith County Golf Tournament brings together sponsors, players, and volunteers for a day of friendly competition in support of our mission. This annual event is more than just a round of golf—it’s an opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of those in our community. Proceeds from the tournament help fund vital programs in education, healthcare, crisis support, and financial stability through our network of nonprofit partners. Join us on the course next spring and be part of the impact!
