Summer Smith

On Saturday May 14, Guilderland High School in Guilderland was the host for the first annual Summer Smith 5K race to raise awareness about the stigma of drug addiction.

Summer Smith died of a drug overdose. Her mother is organizing a May 14 run that will start at her daughter's alma mater, Guilderland High School.

Summer Smith, then a 17-year-old Guilderland High School senior, was friends with a classmate who died in a bad car crash. She raised money for a bronze angel statue to stand in Altamont’s village green. “The angel represents people who have lost people,” Summer told us then.
