Bank supports education at Tremont
A $7,500 donation from SmartBank will help underserved kids experience the beauty of the Smokies through the Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont’s educational programs.
The donation is part of SmartBank’s Park Partners Program, which supports the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and its partners. Schools from across the country bring students to Tremont Institute to attend programs and stay overnight inside the park. Lessons include topics such as geology, cultural history, ecology and environmental concerns. The institute also offers year-round programs for adults and educators to live and learn inside the park.
