Old Newsboys Day
|
|
|
Staff: Todd Garten & Jim Timmerberg |
DOORWAYS volunteers and staff participated in Old Newsboys Day, a charitable project of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Old Newsboys is a non-profit organization that has raised millions of dollars for hundreds of area children's charities. Fund-raising activities occur throughout the year. However, once a year, as suggested by its namesake, money is raised with special editions of the newspaper sold for donations at hundreds of street corners.
DOORWAYS was represented at the corner of Lindell and Newstead near
Rosati-Kain High School and the Cathedral Basilica.
