Background
Founded in memory of Tabitha, who passed away on October 3rd 2024, and was passionate about music and theatre throughout her illness. Tabitha’s beautiful smile shone more brightly when she was performing or watching others perform. Our gift is to share her love of the arts and offer experiences to those children & young adults suffering with life threatening conditions so she can continue to spread joy through the gift of music & theatre.
“Joy is treatment too”
Vision
To ensure every young person in the country undergoing treatment has at least one significant, joyful experience through music and theatre, creating sparkles of happiness during their most challenging times. The charity’s efforts will actively transform difficult moments into invaluable opportunities for creating positive, enduring memories. These memories, in turn, contribute significantly to the holistic well-being and developmental needs of young individuals and their families.
Tabitha’s Smile is committed to providing tickets to music and theatre events for children and young adults undergoing treatment for life-threatening illnesses. This direct intervention addresses a critical, often overlooked need: the provision of positive experiences and a sense of normalcy during periods frequently dominated by medical procedures, emotional distress, and the pervasive shadow of illness.
