Gordon and Frances Street Smith.
GPS alumnae Frances Street Smith ’48 and her husband Gordon were honored on Wednesday as Chattanooga’s Outstanding Philanthropists of 2009 by the Association of Fundraising Professionals. The program noted their quiet but steady philanthropy to United Way, their alma maters GPS and McCallie, Allied Arts, and Hospice of Chattanooga.

GPS Headmaster Randy Tucker presented the awards to all recipients and noted the grace and generous spirit of all Chattanoogans who support non-profit organizations.

Mrs. Smith served on the GPS Board of Trustees for 26 years and was honored in 1984 as the school’s Distinguished Alumna. She has served as president of the Junior League and as a member of the boards of the UC Foundation, Metropolitan Council for Community Service, Baroness Foundation of Erlanger Medical Center and the local chapter of the American Red Cross.

Their family’s philanthropic offerings have made a unique impact on Chattanooga and GPS.
