About Our Foundation

In 2015, Bass Smith Connection (BSC), a non-profit organization, was birthed. Founded by 4 friends, Vernon and Sunna Bass, and Jamel and Nettie (Carter) Smith, BSC’s mission is two-fold. First, is to “Party With A Purpose” PWP. Proceeds generated from our parties go directly to graduating minority high school and current college students, seeking financial assistance to complete their post-secondary educational studies. Second, to remain “connected” with our recipients and provide additional positive support and encouragement. We stand “in the gap” with our recipients to help them navigate the day-to-day challenges they face as they adjust to college life.

Community

Since 2015, we have been intentional to share our mission and vision in the community. We have worked diligently to gain sponsorship for all our events and connect with other professional adults to spread our mission throughout Springfield and surrounding areas.

Ambassadors & Table Hosts

BSC identified 15 supporting friends that have faithfully attended our events and shared our mission with others. They are a critical and necessary part of BSC and have helped us sell tickets to our events but more importantly, helped grow our brand and mission in Springfield and surrounding counties.
