Smiles to Date
SMILE! Thanks to our supporters, Meg’s Smile Foundation has been very busy! Read about our latest “Smile” stories and the amazing people we are helping. Check out our Smile Stories what just a day out or a small gift can do for children and their families who are battling serious illnesses and get inspired!
Meg’s Smile Foundation is a 501 c3 charitable organization that was founded by Jim and Terri Wasley in memory of their daughter Meg, who passed away from a brain tumor in January 2011, at 8 years old.
Jim and Terri were determined to keep Meg’s memory alive and turned their heartache into hope for other children and their families. With the creation of Meg’s Smile Foundation, Jim and Terri are making a difference in children, teens, and young adults’ lives by providing a special day, or, “Smile” to children, teens, and young adults affected by serious illnesses in North Carolina.

Corporate Opportunities
Meg’s Smile Foundation is always in search of unique experiences to offer to children when a “Smile” is requested. We plan an entire day around each child’s interests. Sometimes it’s a shopping spree, other times children want to go to a sporting event, a concert, or to a construction site.
