On a beautifully warm morning at Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park, Friends of Kids with Cancer welcomed over 1,000 guests to celebrate and support loved ones affected by pediatric cancer at the 24th annual Walk with a Friend fundraiser.
Many familiar teams attended alongside some newly formed teams, each walking or running in honor of someone special.
One new patient family team, Team Sar Bear, celebrated Sarah’s 14th birthday at the event. Sarah spoke at the 2023 Fashion Show & Boutique and played a song she wrote with her music therapist about her experience in treatment.
Families and caregivers, their doctors and nurses, and many kind people who help support Friends of Kids with Cancer were seen enjoying the many activities available.
Popcorn and snow cones were offered by Santa Needs Help. Friends provided bounce houses, inflatable archery, and basketball, as well as lawn games like soccer, jumbo pong, and croquet with toy prizes. Spread Ari’s Light provided kids with a little S P R I N G I N G INTO
bit of glam with Ari’s Tattoos.
After the run and walk, guests enjoyed visits by favorite super heroes and Disney princesses from Dreamtime Princess Events and local mascot favorites like Louie of the St. Louis Blues and Louie from UMSL. Guests browsed the Vendor Village with offerings from businesses like Juan Tacos, MoRado Cones, and Dogtopia Four Seasons–Chesterfield. Friends from Hart of the City Photo Booth donated use of their booth right on the path for guests to enjoy.
Many sponsor teams were seen in groups large and small, some who have been participating throughout the years like Midwest Elevator, Moneta, and Image Label Corporation.
Free breakfast items like coffee, fruit, breakfast pastries, and more were available, thanks to Russo’s Gourmet Catering, Nourish Food Solutions, Walnut Grill, and other kind donors.
By the end of the morning, families were enjoying the sunshine so much, they found more space for playtime in the park to continue their Saturday. ▪ THIS EVENT RAISED NEARLY $ 35,000!
Friends of Kids with Cancer’s 26th annual Golf Tournament and Auction was bigger and better than ever this year, thanks to returning and new sponsors securing spots early and selling out this record-raising event.
Each year, this tournament outperforms itself by offering inspiring appearances and speeches from local heroes like two young adult patients, Jon Feretti and Devin Luetkemeyer, and St. Louis Blues Center, Robert Thomas, as well as increasingly desirable luxury packages and items for auction and raffle.
Fan favorites continued this year such as breakfast, provided by Russo’s Gourmet Catering with Carrie’s Merries bloody mary bar, and delicious burgers and brats grilled to perfection by board member and supporter Tommy Russo, provided by OB Clark’s.
New this year was the open-air photo booth by Glow Booth STL, which allowed each golfer to email or text their unique photo, and highlight major sponsors on each image.
Following the completion of 18 holes, golfers met in the clubhouse for the live auction and dinner program. Unique plaques were distributed for many of the incredible sponsors, designed by Jude and Emma, a Friends Art Therapy patient and mom.
THIS EVENT RAISED AN ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF OVER
AND DONATIONS ARE STILL COMING IN! $ 400,000
Robert Thomas surprised the evening patient speaker, Devin, by sitting with him and his family at dinner. Devin, a huge hockey fan and player prior to his diagnosis, looked delighted and surprised when he realized he’d be chatting with Thomas all evening after giving an inspiring speech about his cancer journey.
As the honorary chairperson of the golf tournament, Thomas also supported the fundraiser by donating multiple signed items for auction and a meet-and-greet for the highest bidder. Throughout the day, Thomas encouraged players through video to engage in raffles and auctions.
Friends is incredibly grateful to all the golfers, guests, sponsors and volunteers who contributed to the success of this fundraiser, enabling the organization to carry out the mission of helping kids with cancer... be kids! ▪
“It’s the largest golf tournament that we’re a part of. We get a lot of people here that tell amazing stories, and that’s what’s different. Here at Friends of Kids with Cancer, every year you have someone telling their personal story. You actually see the people you’re helping out. You don’t get that anywhere else.”

On the night of Friday, February 9th, trivia enthusiasts and Friends supporters came together to “Get Schooled” at the 21st Annual Friends of Kids with Cancer Trivia Night, breaking the record of amount raised at nearly $38,000. In attendance were nerds, jocks, teachers, seniors, crayons, coaches, and more, competing for Best Dressed Player and putting their knowledge to the test.
Volunteers set up the event, managed raffle tickets sales and mulligans, and waited on tables throughout the night. Balloon pop, the virtual duck race, and heads or tales games raised funds for Friends and winners took home prizes and added points to their team score.
Emceeing for the evening was Joe Marlotti, Professional Comedian, dressed as a coach complete with whistle. He did not hesitate to blow the whistle and call for laps if the crowd got a little rowdy.
Hart of the City Photo Booth donated hundreds of amazing photos, making every millennial’s dream come true with a laser background for school glamour shots.
The “School of Rock” trivia round was led by dad of a cancer survivor and Trivia planning committee member, Kurt Meisinger, who played the beginnings of famous rock tunes live on his guitar for players to identify.
THIS EVENT RAISED A RECORD AMOUNT OF NEARLY $ 38,000 TO SUPPORT PROGRAMMING.
A heartfelt intermission was presented by patient dad, Jeff Neu. “Friends of Kids is near and dear to me and my family, so every time I have the chance to talk to others about the impact it has on countless lives, I’m happy to be a part of it,” Jeff expressed after the event.
In attendance were many longtime supporters including board members, Board President, Susanne Rosenburg, co-founder, Jill Turec, and many new faces who learned about Friends’ mission for the first time.
By the end of this fun night, some felt smarter than a 5th grader, while others went to detention.
We want to extemd our sincere gratitude to all those who made this event possible. Those who attended, volunteered, sponsored, or donated items for raffle or the bar—THANK YOU for helping kids with cancer... be kids! ▪

“Watching the kids turn into fabulous supermodels for the day is just so fun!.”
How long have you been volunteering with Friends, and how did you get involved?
I have been volunteering with friends for a little over a year. I got involved after attending Voodoo in the Lou and hearing the patient speaker talk about all of the incredible things Friends does for patients and their families.
What does volunteering mean to you?
My job as a pediatric pharmacist often gives me a front row seat to some of the hard days that cancer kiddos and their families endure. Getting the opportunity to help Friends of Kids in their efforts to provide fun and support to patients in treatment and their families means the absolute world to me!
What is your favorite Friends activity or event?
It’s so hard to choose just one, but I would have to say the Fashion Show. Watching the kids turn into fabulous supermodels for the day is just so fun!
Corrie loves all things St. Louis: St. Louis sports teams, St. Louis restaurants (especially Wright’s Tavern), and the Saint Louis Zoo.
She began volunteering in 2023 for all fundraisers and subsequently joined the Young Friends of Kids with Cancer board.

This annual special outing among the flora invited patient families to enjoy the Missouri Botanical Gardens on a spring evening this April. About 200 guests were greeted with gift bags containing journals and fish food for the Japanese Garden and went on their way to enjoy the entire private garden grounds, including the Children’s Garden.
Families explored different basil plants with Therapeutic Horticulturalists and took them home for their own gardens. It was a great way to get out of the often sterile hospital setting to spend a beautiful evening exploring the outdoors with fellow members of the St. Louis pediatric cancer community.
Friends in treatment at our partnering hospitals received a basket of Spring with goodies inside like a bear from Build-A-Bear, Peeps Bunny Dough, Peeps bunny headband, a squishy chick clip, scratch art kit, and crafting eggs—all contained in a Friends reusable bag. This seasonal gifts program helps children participate in holiday or seasonal fun when they’re absent from school or need some extra motivation or cheer.
Thank you Build-a-Bear Foundation for awarding bears to Friends of Kids with Cancer to provide comfort and support.
“This is such a great distraction! It’s so helpful to have something to do and get out of my room because when I’m just sitting around in my room is when I start thinking about the negative scary stuff, but not when I’m in here!”
—Patient at St. Louis Children’s Hospital during planned recreational hospital activities.
Friends of Kids with Cancer was awarded the Blues for Kids Captain’s Grant for $50,000 for the second year to support art therapy programs at our three partnering treatment centers.
Blues for Kids, the charitable trust of the St. Louis Blues, invited patient artists and their families, along with Friends art therapists to enjoy the Blues morning skate at Enterprise Center in March.
A collaborative mosaic art piece created by patients and siblings was unveiled to be hung in the Blues for Kids section of Enterprise Center outside Portal 15.
Families got to meet Blues Captain, Brayden Schenn, ask questions, take photos, and take home a signed puck.
That evening, patients and their families were invited to the Brayden Schenn Suite to watch the Blues vs. the Colorado Avalanche game. Friends treated each family member to an item of their choice in the Blues apparel store and cheered on the Blues while eating great food in the private suite.
A big thank you to Blues for Kids and Brayden Schenn for an incredible day and for making a difference in the lives of St. Louis families facing cancer through their generous funding of art therapy.
“Through our partnership with Friends of Kids with Cancer, Blues for Kids helps to make art therapy accessible to pediatric cancer patients and their siblings,” Randy Girsch, Vice President/Executive Director of Blues
for Kids, stated. “Cancer care and awareness is at the forefront of much of what we do as a foundation, and we are proud to support the cause in this way. From displaying patient artwork in our concourse to welcoming families to games through our player programs, we are thrilled to see how our partnership has continued to grow.”
“We are thankful we had the opportunity to be a part of morning skate! It was a blast. Sarah was thrilled to have such a unique experience with the Blues, her friends from the cancer center, and Friends of Kids with Cancer!”
—Andrea Ligammari-Kunz, patient mom

Friends of Kids with Cancer sends toys to our local treatment centers weekly and uses toys for many different programs. Toys are often given in clinics or for children in-patient as a recreational distraction, for a mood boost, special celebration, or for when children are undergoing radiation. Radiation patients receive a “prize” for every day of treatment they complete.
In April, Friends of Kids with Cancer treated Courtlyn, a 17-year-old patient in treatment (now high school graduate), to a shopping extravaganza to prepare for her prom.
Morgyn Johnson, Program Coordinator, met Courtlyn at West County Mall to search for the perfect prom outfit and accessories.
After browse a few stores, Morgyn helped Courtlyn find a beautiful dress at Windsor, shoes at Aldo, jewelry accessories at Altar’d State, and all the makeup she could want at Sephora. To reenergize after so much shopping, Courtlyn was treated to Starbucks Coffee.
“I love to shop and since my diagnosis I wasn’t able to. It was absolutely thrilling and one of the best days ever,” Courtlyn expressed.
According to Morgyn, Courtlyn seemed surprised that Friends would cover the entire cost of whatever she wanted for the event, which is a part of our Memory Maker program.
Memory Makers are designed to help patients feel like themselves again and create lasting memories. Programs like this are a part of helping kids like Courtlyn retain a sense of normalcy by not missing out on major life events like prom.
Courtlyn was complimented on her dress by many people, even after the event. And, what was her favorite item purchased? The makeup from Sephora.
She told us excitedly, “...all the makeup that was bought is my favorite item. I’m still able to use them all even after prom!”
What made the night even more magical was being crowned Prom Queen, which was shocking to Courtlyn.
“I truly didn’t believe it. It’s crazy to think so many people decided to vote for me. I felt so loved,” she expressed.
“It meant so much to me. I was able to feel like I was back to my old self. It was magical.”
Friends of Kids with Cancer gives Memory Makers to give an extra special, personalized gift to a child at a milestone time in their lives, providing lasting memories.
CARDINALS BASEBALL, MUNY, OR CITY SOCCER
Friends accepts tickets (even last-minute invites) to area events like baseball, soccer, and hockey games, Muny tickets, theatre tickets, and any other events for children and adults. Can’t use your season tickets? Donate them!

In 1994, Ashley Sander was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at age 13. She was treated by Dr. Bob Bergamini and fondly recalls her time knowing Friends of Kids with Cancer’s co-founder, Jill Turec.
“I was introduced to Friends of Kids by the Toy Closet in Dr. Bob’s office,” she says. “It was always nice because whenever I had any kind of procedure done, [Friends] would always allow me to pick something out of the closet.”
Ashley described receiving tutoring when she wasn’t able to attend school regularly. She remembers fondly doing art projects with younger patients, prior to Friends establishing Art Therapy.
“Art projects, movies, Nintendo games. [It] helped the time fly by a little quicker,” she remembers.
“It always made me feel special and put a smile on my face. I know it means a lot to any child who is going through any kind of procedure,” Ashley explains.
As a Friends of Kids with Cancer Fashion Show & Boutique model in one of the early renditions of the event, she recalls, “you get all dolled up, someone does your makeup, finds you the right outfits, you get to walk the runway. That’s such a special day.”
Over 25 years later, in 2021, Chemline, a local chemical manufacturing company providing custom polyurethane coatings, granted Friends of Kids with Cancer with an anonymous $20,750 grant through a partnership with St. Louis Community Foundation.
Chemline created a rotating volunteer committee of employees, called Chemline Cares, who task themselves each year with choosing charities close to their interests to receive a grant, funded by Chemline’s CEO and founder, John Pantanella.
“The reason why John started [Chemline Cares] is because... he’s always been generous to different organizations and one day it just
hit him. He felt, ‘I want my staff to have that same sense of giving back,’” says Audra Barklage, HR Manager at Chemline.
Little did John know that one of his employees and Chemline Cares committee member, Ashley Sander, has a history with Friends of Kids with Cancer.
“John is a giver. He’s always been a giver,” adds Ashley, who is one of John’s accountants at Chemline.
Each Chemline Cares member picks a charity and the committee visits each charity to learn more.
“We talked about my story each year and it’s always been brought up,” Ashley says about her influence on Friends receiving the grant.
“It’s a charity that I would love to keep donating to,” she says.
“It’s an added benefit that we didn’t consider when we started the committee... There are going to be personal stories such as Ashley’s that help her feel like she’s giving back to an organization that was so instrumental to her during her experience,” Audra explains.
Ashley and Audra agree that they personally wouldn’t have the opportunity to give to organizations at such a large scale without Chemline Cares, an opportunity they believe is an added benefit to their employment and company culture.
“It feels really good to be able to help someone who’s helped me,” Ashley adds.
Many years have passed since Ashley’s diagnosis and treatment, and she’s noticed some changes in Friends of Kids with Cancer.
“What I saw in the beginning to where it’s come now, it’s just grown so much,” she explains. “The counseling services are absolutely amazing and needed for both the child going through it and their families.”
Ashley recalls her brother and sister during her time in treatment. She says that her cancer journey affected her siblings, too.
“It means a lot that [Friends] takes care of siblings as well,” she shares.
Chemline Cares has chosen Friends of Kids with Cancer to receive grant funds from $20,000-$30,000 over each of the past three years.
“I’m very thankful and lucky to work for an amazing company,” Ashley expresses.
Through the support of people like Ashley Sander who share their stories, and John Pantanella’s ambitions to financially impact the St. Louis community, Friends is able to support so many children and families in the St. Louis area.
Friends of Kids with Cancer is grateful for the opportunity to provide excellent services to families facing pediatric cancer for over 30 years and it’s inspiring to realize how many St. Louis community members, like Ashley, have been impacted by our mission.
