We’ve noticed some new followers lately, so we wanted to share a little about the Austin Smith Foundation.
The foundation was created to honor Austin, a volunteer firefighter with the St. Paul Fire Department who tragically lost his life in the line of duty while battling a barn fire.
Our mission is to turn remembrance into purpose by supporting those pursuing careers as first responders or nurses, keeping Austin’s legacy alive through scholarships, events, and community support.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support and believe in this mission.
