Send A Smile Today

One Card At A Time

Our Mission

The mission of Send A Smile Today® is to let cancer patients know they are never alone by regularly mailing uplifting greeting cards: from time of cancer diagnosis - through treatment - to survivorship. Cards are mailed monthly to ANYONE of ANY age with ANY TYPE of cancer in the United States and are meant to provide hope, love and support. Send A Smile Today® receives donations of greeting cards, envelopes, postage stamps and monetary donations to support our operation. We then, once a month, mail cards to those with cancer who have signed up on our website to receive cards from our organization. 

Our 2026 NWA Gives Goal is to Raise $7,500

Any donation of $5 or more helps us reach our goal. Donate $10 or more from 8:00 a.m. CST April 2 - 8:00 p.m. CST April 9 and you will automatically be entered into the Send A Smile Today® prize drawing (one entry per person) to win one of the following prizes:

About Us

Since its inception in 2013, Send A Smile Today® has mailed over 60,000 heartfelt greeting cards to nearly 6,000 people facing cancer in all 50 states. Send A Smile Today® is supported by generous donations of handmade uplifting greeting cards, A9 self-sealing envelopes, Forever postage stamps and monetary contributions. These donations allow us to send cards each month to individuals fighting cancer who have signed up on our website sendasmiletoday.org. There is no cost to sign up for these cards, as our dedicated donors fully fund the operation. Our founder, Kim Whitehouse, a 15-year breast cancer survivor, started this initiative to offer encouragement to those with cancer. Kim is a mother of two grown children and lives in Bentonville, AR with her husband, Allen, and their two cats.
