annual night for life gala meet the chairs
Co-chairs Julia Masetti and Joan Walsh
Why is this nonprofit important to you? The organization provides tangible assistance to women in real crisis by providing free pregnancy tests, free professional counseling, support services and referrals to other specialists—all of which enhance both the life of the mother and her baby. Throughout its 48-year history, Birthright St. Louis has cared for more than 200,000 women without preaching to or judging any of them. Its mission is one of love, hope and life.
What will this event accomplish for the organization?
The annual Night for Life Gala helps raise awareness about our services and raises funds to keep the four area offices staffed with licensed, professional counselors. With additional funds, we can expand our outreach and education programs to better serve the community and reach more women facing an unplanned pregnancy. Birthright does not receive any government funding, so we count on our generous supporters even for practical items like diapers, clothing, rent, tuition, etc.

Cheers! to the chairs
�5th anniversary caregiver awards luncheon meet the chairs
Co-chairs Nichole Huffman, Lynn Potts and Cindy Wilson
Why is this nonprofit important to you? After years of working in long-term care, we fully understand the importance of everyone having an advocate. VOYCE speaks for longterm care residents who cannot speak for themselves and advocates for those who need support. VOYCE has volunteer advocates and trained staff that assist long-term care residents, their families and the senior communities with issues involving roommates, family members or other resident concerns. VOYCE provides a neutral outlet and the tools to resolve these issues.
What will this event accomplish for the organization?
The 25th anniversary of the Caregiver Awards Luncheon creates public awareness for VOYCE’s role in speaking up for quality long-term care. It honors the unsung heroes who are the front-line caregivers in long-term care. These champions are delivering quality, person-centered care while respecting the rights of residents.
about the organization
MISSION STATEMENT: To educate and empower persons and their families for quality living across the continuum of long-term care
