You answered the call this holiday season! Your generosity helped donate over $16,000 in gifts and essential household items and raised over $2,400 in gift cards. This resulted in holiday cheer for over 100 children, teens, and families in our community.

Friends like you created joyful moments for the children and families we support, like Andrew, a father of three who was greeted with a van filled with holiday gifts for his children and himself. He was overjoyed by the support of our community, leaving the exchange with a smile on his face knowing this would be the best holiday yet for his family.

A very special thank you to our friends at the following agencies for their support in making this year’s Holiday Project a success!

One Month Until Rocket Ball!

Join us in celebrating another year of Imagining Futures for biological, foster, and adoptive families in the St. Louis region. This year's Rocket Ball will occur on Saturday, February 8, 2025, at the historic Union Station in downtown St. Louis! The evening will include a cocktail reception, dinner, auction, and an exciting after-party with music and dancing. Your attendance supports kids and families as they travel a path to hope and healing.
