The formal event, honors businesses, organizations and individuals that selflessly give their time and talents to improve the quality of life for people in the community.

"We call it Night with the Stars because they are stars in the eyes of the people whose lives they touch," states Pamela Williams, Executive Director. Ms. Williams said Think Smart organized the event as a way of honoring people who generally go unnoticed for their contributions to their community. The event was started by Nell Williams, Chief Executive Financial Director/Event Coordinator and its a huge success and one of Think Smart’s biggest fundraisers.
