The Smith County Medical Society Alliance Book Fair Foundation has raised over $700,000.00 for health career scholarships in the East Texas area and we also fund other ongoing health projects in our community.
Over the past 43 years, our semi-annual Book Fair sales have allowed us to fund:
 
  • Over 1000 Health Career Scholarships
  • $25,000.00 TJC Presidential Scholarship
  • $25,000.00 UT Tyler Presidential Nursing Scholarship
  • $25,000.00 UT Tyler Masters of Nursing Scholarship
 
In 1975, Smith County physicians contributed money to build our current Book Fair building to store, sort, and sell donated books. Since then our project has grown so much that we have run out of space! We have been presented with an unexpected and time-sensitive opportunity to purchase a larger building at an exceptional cost of $25.00 per square foot. This building would provide us with the critical space we presently need, give us considerable room to grow, and significantly enable us to increase proceeds for our scholarships.
 
The opportunity to purchase this building comes with the challenging task of obtaining the money by May 1st. The above form details tax deductable contribution levels.  Any donation is appreciated.
 
Thank you for your time and generosity,
