Before his death in 2015, Wes Smith was involved in numerous community projects in the North Georgia and Chattanooga area. After his death, the Wes and Shirley Smith Charitable Endowment was created to continue that work.
On Saturday night, Sept. 15, Scott and Todd Smith will honor their father when they host Smith & Wesley and Friends. The two perform under that name to honor their father, and this event is a fundraiser for the endowment. Joining them will be John Anderson, Mitch Rossell, Bucky Covington and Cotter Hill.
“He (Wes Smith) had a foundation when he was the CEO of the [Northwest Georgia] bank, and he did a lot for North Georgia and the Chattanooga areas,” says Scott Smith. “After he died, we turned it into the Wes and Shirley Smith Charitable Endowment to continue doing what he started.
“One of the things he helped build was the Northwest Georgia Amphitheater. He raised money for it, so we want to have one of these shows there every year as a fundraiser.”
