Who was Syrai Smith?
She was a daughter.
A sister.
A friend.
A student.
A cheerleader.
A young woman with dreams, purpose and a light all her own.
And although her journey was cut short, her light did not go out.
Why We Exist
Out of unimaginable loss came a decision: to turn love into legacy and loss into purpose. The Syrai B. Foundation was created to carry Syrai Smith's light forward by creating opportunities, supporting young people and helping families navigate life after loss.
Our Goal
- An annual gala.
- Scholarships for high-achieving students who strive to be leaders, just as Syrai Smith was, awarded in academics, cheer and performing arts.
- Cheer camps.
- More events throughout the year to honor Syrai Smith's name.
Her Light. Her Legacy. Their Future.

Every gift to The Syrai B. Foundation helps carry Syrai Smith's light forward through scholarships, cheer camps and events that honor her name. Thank you for giving in her memory.
