More Than A Smile Foundation Served 1,200+ People in 2025

In 2025, More Than A Smile Foundation reached more people than in any year of our history.

Over 1,200 individuals — youth, parents, and community members — participated in our programs across Louisville. From the Annual International Cup to our Women & Family Empowerment gatherings, from Back to School giveaways to Smiles Beyond Borders, every program we run is rooted in one belief: immigrant and refugee families deserve to thrive, not just survive.

Here is what we built together in 2025:

**Beyond the Field** kept 200+ youth active and safe during every school break — Thanksgiving, winter, spring, and summer. Free sports, arts, and leadership programming, every time school let out.

**Back to School** sent hundreds of children into the new year with backpacks, shoes, and supplies — and the confidence that someone in this city sees them.

**The Annual International Cup** brought teams from 20+ states to Louisville for a weekend of soccer, basketball, and belonging. It is one of the largest immigrant and refugee youth sports events in the region.

**Women & Family Empowerment** convened mothers, daughters, and community leaders for workshops on health, economic opportunity, and building a life in a new place.

**Smiles Beyond Borders** extended our work to East Africa, connecting youth across continents through sports and education.

None of this happens without our funders, volunteers, and community partners. Thank you for believing in More Than A Smile Foundation — and in the families we serve.
