Project COPE
CELEBRATING SECOND CHANCES
M
BY BRYAN SCHRAIER
ore than 250 guests gathered at the Saint Louis Zoo’s Living World venue to celebrate the unique and unsung work of Project COPE. The Project works by providing reentry support for selected former criminal offenders, including case management, transitional housing, and partnership with volunteer teams from the community. The event at the Zoo raised more than $400,000 for Project COPE’s programs. The event also featured the presentation of the Making a Difference Award to Danny and Susan Ludeman, remarks from COPE officials and alumni, as well as a keynote address by Missouri Director of Public Safety Dan Isom.
