Jazzy's Day, a celebration of the life of Jasmyn Smith, was held in Columbia's Makle Park on Saturday, August 24, with several hundred people attending. Jasmyn, affectionately known as "Jazzy," passed away last year at age 11. The event was sponsored by Aevidum, a national organization that helps support children and young adults through troubled times. The organization's philosophy is "I've got your back."
The event featured music by DJ Spins, and included a school supplies giveaway, face painting, a raffle, games, drinks, and a balloon release in remembrance of Jazzy.

All of the 185 backpacks available were given away within the first 15 minutes of the event, to children waiting in line. The entire stock of 200 t-shirts made in memory of Jazzy sold out by early afternoon. A drill team from York's Crispus Attucks Association performed mid-afternoon, and balloons in Jazzy's favorite colors were released afterwards.

Rey Miranda offered face painting. Raffle prizes included a 42" flat-screen TV and two bicycles.

The website of Aevidum is www.aevidum.org.

An award designed by Jazzy's grandfather, Larry Phiel.

Jazzy's family: L-R: Bonnie Smith (Jazzy's grandmother), Stephan Smith (father), Lindy Smith (mother), Jada Smith (sister), Larry Phiel (grandfather), Jailyn Smith (sister), Jean Phiel (grandmother)
