Olivia's Future Fund

Wil Smith left a legacy that will last a lifetime. His selflessness and commitment to those around him left lasting impressions on us all. We, friends, family, and mentees of Wil, would like to show our love and support to his legacy by contributing to Olivia's fund.  Wil had many accomplishments, but his greatest by far is his beautiful daughter, Olivia.  Together, they changed Bowdoin College  and our lives forever.  At the end of Wil's life he asked that we all please make sure we take care of Olivia. This money will be put into a trust established by family and friends to ensure Olivia's future prosperity. Wil gave us all so much: inspiration, that warm smile, the best hugs ever, and of course his love. Please consider giving what you can to ensure that Olivia is supported.

If you would rather contribute directly to the trust fund, donations can be made to Lynn Sherman, Trustee of the Olivia Smith Trust, and mailed to James Erwin, Pierce Atwood, 254 Commercial St., Portland, ME 04101.
