OUR ETHAN

Ethan’s love for life was boundless. With a booming laugh and infectious smile, he spread joy to all who were fortunate enough to know him. Ethan was our storyteller, hard worker, and friend-maker.

In the wake of his absence, the Ethan’s Smile Foundation was born—a tribute to Ethan’s unwavering passion for life. Our mission is simple yet profound: to carry forward the legacy of Ethan by providing scholarships that enable others to follow their dreams.

In every corner we venture, in every heart we touch, we strive to keep alive the spirit of Ethan, reminding ourselves and others of the adventures and kindness that life has to offer.

We thank you for embarking on this mission with us to honor our Ethan.

Sincerely,

Jim & Stacy Chapin
