1. Smithton Transfitnation has been helping residents to live a healthy lifestyle since 2018! The mission is to help people exercise to improve mobility, ease pain, and aid weight loss. However, their commitment to the community goes beyond the fitness world and spreads to local charities. This time, the Smithtown Children’s Foundation is the beneficiary! Transfitnation raised $1673.48 to help families of kids in the school district who needs emotional and financial assistance. (Smithtown Historical Society)
