Tanner Smith (born March 30, 1990) is a former basketball player for Clemson University. He is also the founder of Tanner’s Totes, an organization that helps to cheer up children and teenagers with cancer through donations of large tote bags fill with toys and other fun things. He came up with this idea in the fourth grade when he wrote a paper about his three wishes. In the paper, he wrote that he wished for a golden retriever, to become a professional basketball player, and to help kids with cancer. He has a golden retriever, Griffey, named after (????), has received offers and is working toward a professional career overseas, and uses Tanner’s Totes as a way to help young cancer patients stay happy while battling cancer.

Tanner Smith graduated in December 2011 with a degree in Marketing and finished playing his final season at Clemson as a graduate student.
