What Does the Infinite Smile Project Charity Do?|In a Difficult World, We Teach & Spread Kindness. Here’s How
Labor Day. Our treasured American holiday that celebrates the American Labor Movement and pays tribute to the workers who have made this country strong, prosperous, and proud to be who we are today.

The #1 Thing the News Stations Should Be Talking About But Aren’t
My new favorite pop culture word – “Philanthro-kids”.
