The Smile Tour
In Honor of Humayra Bodhania
2009-2017
The untimely and devastating passing of Chloe’s young friend, Humayra Bodhania — a bright, eight-year-old girl with a big smile and even bigger dreams — became the catalyst for change. In 2017, Chloé made a promise to turn heartbreak into action.
Determined to bring joy, connection, and hope to others living with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and other life-threatening illnesses, Chloe created The Smile Tour — a hospital-based concert series designed to uplift pediatric patients and remind them that no matter their circumstances, anything is possible.
Throughout the tour, Chloe performed while connected to her oxygen tank — affectionately named Steve Martin — a powerful visual that left patients, families, and hospital staff deeply moved. Her performances went beyond music; they reminded every child in the room that nothing is impossible, no matter how it may seem.
The Smile Tour brings live music directly into leading hospitals across the United States. In addition to full performances for patients, doctors, and staff, Chloe spends time giving one-on-one acoustic performances at patients’ bedsides — moments of genuine connection that remind them they are seen, valued, and capable of more than they realize.
The Smile Tour launched in 2019 at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital and continues to expand to major medical centers nationwide.
Funds raised through The Chloe Temtchine Foundation help cover costs not met through sponsorships or hospital partnerships — including travel, equipment, production, and creative content that brings each experience to life.
Your tax-deductible gift ensures The Smile Tour continues year after year — delivering hope, inspiration, and a message that transcends illness: you are not your diagnosis, and you can still do extraordinary things.
