Jenny Amparan
Kelli graduated with a music therapy masters degree from New York University and discovered her passion for hematology/oncology while interning at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. After moving to St Louis, she created the first music therapy programs for both SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital and SSM Hospice. Additionally, Kelli is an adjunct professor at Maryville University and West Virginia University, where she teaches masters and bachelors level music therapy courses in medical music therapy, the psychology of music, ethics and legal issues and internship supervision. Kelli will also begin a doctoral program in Counseling Psychology at UMSL this fall. During her six years at Cardinal Glennon, Kelli frequently worked with Friends and supported events, and saw firsthand the incredible impact the charity has on patients and families. She is excited to continue supporting pediatric hem/onc families in a new capacity as part of Friends programs team.
Jenny is a St. Louis native with over 18 years experience as a caregiver. She’s married with two sons and two rescue dogs. Her many years of volunteer experience includes Meals on Wheels for seniors and St. Louis Cancer Care. She enjoys collecting vinyl records, going to antique shops and supporting St. Louis businesses. Jenny’s sister is a three-time cancer survivor, and she knows the importance of supporting the entire family through a difficult diagnosis.

It is a privilege to serve as the new Board President of Friends of Kids with Cancer. With twenty five years experience in hematology and oncology, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of this organization. I joined the board as a new nurse in the late 1990s and was reengaged to serve in 2015. This charity holds a special place in my heart.
The donor community, staff, and volunteers support these children and their families from the time of the unimaginable diagnosis through the grind of illness and isolation. Friends of Kids is there every step of the way to offer emotional, educational, and recreational resources throughout this treatment journey and well beyond.
I am mindful of the larger memories—Toy Closets, Memory Makers, and the Fashion Show & Boutique, just to name a few. But just as powerful are the moments of hidden dedication—tutoring, support groups, and one-onone conversations, peer relationships, sibling support— all happening behind the scenes. I believe in Friends, I love Friends, and am committed to carrying forward this beautiful mission.
Susanne RosenbergI first heard about Friends of Kids with Cancer while working with Launch St. Louis back in 2016. I loved the mission so started volunteering and was fortunate to join the Young Friends group shortly thereafter. I’ve worked with other non-profit organizations over the years and the Friends’ events like VooDoo in the Lou, Art from the Heart, and the Fashion Show are the most impactful and unique I’ve seen. It is a great honor to be joining the Board where I’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with an amazing group of people and will do everything I can to help further their noble cause.
Ryan Lommel joins the Board of Directors after 20 years of continued support for Friends of Kids with Cancer. Ryan has been a contributing member of the Golf Tournament & Auction committee, one of the charity’s largest fundraiser events, for the past 9 years and has served as co-chair for the past three years. Ryan is very excited and eager to get more involved in the charity and to look for new ways to contribute to the overall mission of helping kids and families battling cancer.
My name is Katy Carson, and I am a childhood cancer survivor. I was first introduced to the charity in 2001 when I was diagnosed with ALL leukemia when I was 14 years old. Friends of Kids with Cancer created a lifetime of friendships and memories for me as we traveled to Chicago and Boston for Teen trips. Fast Forward to 2010 and I helped launch Young Friends of Kids with Cancer. I served on the Executive Board of Young Friends and remained on the Board until I was nominated and voted onto the Friends main Board of Directors. I am honored to be a part of such an amazing organization that provided me with a lifetime of memories, and I can’t wait to give my time, talents, and treasures to Friends of Kids with Cancer.

This annual holiday pub crawl is an incredible opportunity to support local charities like Friends while having a blast with family and friends. The event, organized by our young professionals group, Young Friends of Kids with Cancer, was highly attended by St. Louis’ young adults in support of Friends.
This year was successful in raising $43,298 with 2,623 attendees representing Friends of Kids with Cancer.
Each year, the event designates a charity with a special color sweatshirt, free with every ticket purchase. Those wearing white sweatshirts showed their support of Friends of Kids with Cancer while bar crawling across St. Louis, drink cozies in hand.
Karen Saettele, Vice President of the Young Friends board, has organized our participation in 12 Bars of Charity for the last 2 years. She volunteered at the event prior to organizing and says she always had a great time as a volunteer.
Karen cites Emily Savage as the person who spearheads 12 Bars of Charity each year for St. Louis, and says Emily does everything in her power to get the most money back in the hands of the charities. Karen says that Emily is very supportive and helpful to Young Friends throughout the whole planning process.
THIS EVENT RAISED OVER $ 43,000!
“Our volunteers have so much fun during the sweatshirt distribution process and enjoy a great day and evening supporting their favorite charity,” Karen says.
Thank you to Young Friends of Kids with Cancer for a record-breaking year and for raising awareness with young adults in our communities. ▪
Twenty years of trivia and it just gets better and better! On the night of Friday, January 20th, over 500 attendees came out to support Friends of Kids with Cancer and compete in the 20th Annual Timewarp Trivia Night.
Professional comedian, Joe Marlotti, hosted the night, providing comedic quips and perfect pacing.
THIS EVENT RAISED OVER $ 29,000!
In this blast from the past, a guest dressed as Napoleon won Best Dressed, with George Washington a close second.
With special games like balloon pop, heads or tails, and sales from mulligans, raffles, and liquor pull, we raised a lot of money to support our kids and families.
We couldn’t have done it without our amazing volunteers and generous sponsors.
A special thank you to our title sponsor Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, as well as bar sponsors Bob and Diane Kopitsky, and Dave Sinclair Buick GMC. ▪

23rd Annual“When we’re outlining what we are going to do to help out our local communities, this is the first charity on the list, every single year.”
Over a hundred cars came by Grant’s Farm filled with our favorite people during the Winter Wonderland Drive-Thru in early December, enjoying treats, toys, and hot chocolate brought right to their windows. Beautiful lights lit up the smiles of our patient families as they said hello and grabbed their goodies. Thanks to the Peter Mayhew Foundation, each child received a high-quality Star Wars toy. Family cars enjoyed the beautiful Grant’s Farm Holiday Lights drive-thru and waved hello to Mr. and Mrs. Claus.
A special thank you to the Peter Mayhew Foundation for the donation of Star Wars toys, the Star War characters from The 501st Legion, and Rock Paper Sprinkles for gift bags. ▪
families attended & enjoyed hot chocolate, toy gifts, Star Wars characters & Grant’s Farm Holiday Lights.
180
patients & family members received holiday gifts through Adopt-A-Family.
With the help of 26 volunteers and a few generous donors, holiday wishes came true for 180 parents and kids within 38 patient families. These families received entirely fulfilled wish lists in the 2022 holiday season thanks to the many shoppers, donors, and wrappers in the giving spirit.
Generous donors “adopt” families, sometimes with as many as 6 people to shop for. From toys, gift cards, and special items to necessities like pots and pans and appliances, everyone got their wishes fulfilled.
Volunteers delivered sacks and wagons full of gifts to the families, sometimes driving multiple hours, and, in one unique case, shipping gifts over multiple states when a family made an emergency move. ▪
60 tickets offered to families to attend holiday light experiences, Disney on Ice, and Frozen on Ice.
Patients unable to leave the hospital shopped for their family members with gifts provided by Friends of Kids with Cancer.
Elf on the Shelf
10 elves spread throughout St. Louis treatment centers with cheerful and fun scenarios for 12 days. Patients receive prizes for finding the elf each day. Over 2,000 prizes given in 2022.
45 party kits delivered to patients in the hospital to celebrate the new year.
Paul Goldschmidt, St. Louis Cardinals MVP, showed up in a huge way for our patients this winter. After walking on the runway as one of our guests in the 2022 Fashion Show & Boutique and meeting all the special patient models that day, Goldy was inspired to continue making a difference in our pediatric cancer community.
Thanks to Goldy’s generous spirit, all of the above winter festivities were funded in part by our new favorite Cards player (shhh... don’t tell the rest of the team). ▪
Dressed in matching outfits inspired by their favorite TV show, The Mandalorian, patient Coen and his two siblings, Nora and June, and mom, Deanna, kicked off Coen’s Memory Maker and birthday celebration at Best Buy. There, Coen picked out a special TV and Xbox games to go in the family’s new gaming area, a part of Coen’s Memory Maker.
Coen’s 13th birthday was officially on March 12th, but he was scheduled to be in treatment that entire week. So the family decided they wanted to celebrate ahead of treatment.
Coen was so excited to get this new OLED TV. He researched the exact model he wanted and came prepared to the store.
We couldn’t forget Nora and June, so we brought some goodies from our Toy Closet for them, too.
After shopping at Best Buy, we treated the family to Andy’s Frozen Custard and raised a cone to Coen’s big one-three.
Although it was a cold and drizzly Friday afternoon, there were cheerful smiles and warm feelings as we helped Coen and his family with a much-needed celebration.
We have no doubt that Coen will be spending a lot of time enjoying himself in his new game area, as well as creating some great memories with his sisters over their favorite shows.

THROW A HOUSE PARTY LIKE MARGARET
Margaret wanted to participate in Young Friends of Kids with Cancer’s 12 Bars of Charity event, but didn’t want to face the crowds. So she decided to make an alternative house party called One House for Charity. This inaugural event raised over $7,000 for Friends Family, friends, and guests paid $30 per person to enjoy food and drinks, DJ music, and karaoke. This Christmas-themed party was big fun AND brought in funds to help our mission. Thank you, Margaret and the entire Godfrey family for their support—combining the love of their favorite charity and having fun together!
RUN A TOY DRIVE IN YOUR HOME
Toy drives don’t have to be big and fabulous to be successful, but Kelly Beat’s annual open house is just that. For the past 11 years, Kelly and her two kids (seen here) have donated hundreds of toys for the Toy Closet thanks to the support of their family and friends.
Each December, Kelly transforms her entire home to celebrate Christmas— decorating each room with multiple trees in various themes. She puts out food and drinks and invites her friends, family, and their guests, to view the festivities on one special open house day.
To gain entrance, she asks each guest to bring an unwrapped, new toy to donate to Friends. Guests place their gift under their favorite Christmas tree, voting for the most loved decoration. This open house toy drive has been so successful because Kelly incorporates her love of holiday decorating, hosting guests, and a cause she loves so much. Thank you, Kelly and family, for your continued support for over 11 years!

LANA JUEDEMANN
How long have you been volunteering with Friends, and how did you get involved?
I have been volunteering since the summer of 2019. I recently retired and wanted to offer my services to Friends because my nephew, Adam Behrhorst, and his entire family had received benefits and support from Friends while he was fighting Ewing’s Sarcoma during his senior year of high school. Sadly, Adam did not survive. I was moved by the efforts this organization made in helping these young cancer patients and their families deal with so many aspects of this awful disease.
What does volunteering mean to you?
Being able to give back to the organization that provided support to my nephew has been very rewarding. Volunteering with Friends has allowed me to offer my accounting and administrative related skills, but I’ve also enjoyed shopping for toys, food & gift cards, delivering snacks and toys to the various treatment centers and setting up and participating at events. With each activity, I can see how the goal of the organization is to provide, at a minimum, a moment of grace to the patient and their families as they deal with the hardships of a child fighting cancer.
What is your favorite Friends activity or event?
My favorite Friends activity is working with the wonderful group of fulltime employees of the organization as well as the other volunteers.
friends, and volunteering with Friends.
“I was moved by the efforts this organization made in helping these young cancer patients.”
