ABOUT THOMAS E. Smith Foundation
Meet the team.
Kandie Hale
Kandie’s passion for making a difference led her to TESF in 2013, initially as a supporter then quickly turned into advocacy for raising awareness for spinal cord injury prevention in hockey. She began “Hockey Moms Against Injury” and rallied support for the “LookUp Line” amongst the hockey community. Meeting Tom and having a son who played hockey fueled her motivation to make the game safer for all. Recognizing how essential financial and emotional support is for a SCI patient continues to drive her in providing assistance to as many grant recipients as possible.
Her commitment to the cause led to a Director’s role in which she has been a key member of the team. As a liaison to the Boston Bruins Foundation and the Bruins Alumni Association, she is devoted to ensuring these partnerships and events continue to be successful. Kandie earned a BS in Business Management from Bentley University and is currently a Partnership Manager in the Global Mobility industry. Personally, she is a proud mom of three adult children, Kathryn, Braeden, and Jules, and has recently celebrated over 3 decades of marriage with her husband Scott. An avid sports and wine enthusiast, Kandie makes it a point to enjoy each and every day.
