Nashville, TN – Tune in tomorrow morning during the 9am hour of NBC’s TODAY for an exclusive interview with Granger Smith and wife Amber to talk about the heartbreaking loss of their son River last summer. The Smiths will be speaking publicly for the first time since his passing with NBC’s Natalie Morales on how they have learned to cope, raise awareness of water safety, and how they’ve learned to #LiveLikeRiv by starting the River Kelly Fund.
Granger and Amber Smith made it a mission to create the River Kelly Fund in honor of their son. They created the tagline #LiveLikeRiv to encourage others to live in the moment. This fund is focused on seeking out and determining areas of need and invest in those most affected. Bringing awareness to causes including children in need, arts and education, wildlife preservation, military, veteran and first responder assistance, donor affiliations and many more organizations, the River Kelly fund is founded on one of the simplest, yet most impactful purposes in life: illuminating love and joy in the present moment.
