TJ's Story
Why We Live Like Teej
TJ Smoltino was a beloved son, brother, boyfriend, and friend to so many. He had a natural ability to leave a positive impact on everyone around him. TJ's generosity was one of his many characteristics that has stuck with everyone he's known.
We wanted to find a way to continue to shine a light on TJ and his kindness and compassion to the community around him. TJ's story is what led us here today, with the launch of the TJ Smoltino Foundation.

Our Mission
The TJ Smoltino Foundation is registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN 88-2792483). TJ’s foundation began as an initiative to give back to the community in honor of TJ and his love for lacrosse. As part of that initiative we created a sports scholarship that will be awarded to one Edison High School Varsity Lacrosse team member each year to not only celebrate TJ's love for the sport, but to also give one member of our community an opportunity to further their academic and lacrosse achievements. However, in creating this scholarship and receiving a surplus of donations, we realized just how much of an impact TJ has on the community around us and how much more of an opportunity we have to give back to other organizations/non-profits in his name. Your donations will not only support an Edison High School lacrosse member, but other fundraising events including:
-
Polar Bear Plunge at Seaside (Supporting the NJ special Olympics)
-
TJ’s Toy Drive (supporting Toys for Tots)
-
Holiday Food Drive
-
Edison Jets/Youth Sports Sponsorships
-
Many more to come!
