CLEMSON, SC – Tanner’s Totes, the nonprofit organization founded by Clemson graduate and basketball standout Tanner Smith, will be featured on the popular weekly ESPN show College GameDay on Saturday, Jan. 28. The show airs at 11:00 AM Eastern time.

ESPN cameras followed Smith to an Atlanta-area hospital during the day on Sunday, Jan. 22 and visited with his parents, Craig and Kathy, later that night in their Alpharetta, GA home. The crew was in Clemson on Monday, Jan. 23 conducting interviews with Smith and others in conjunction with the featured piece.

Founded by Smith at the age of 12, Tanner’s Totes are delivered to teens and pre-teens suffering from long-term hospital illnesses. To date, more than 3,000 totes have been delivered to hospitals in over 20 states, including as far as Hawaii.
