Thanks to the very kind and generous people who donated on Giving Tuesday! We raised $575, which will help with our Scout scholarship next year. We are also grateful for everyone who helped spread the word through their likes and shares during the event. Hopefully more people are aware of what we do.

The Scholarship Foundation participated in the Affton-Lemay community Parade on Saturday, Sept. 17. What a beautiful day and a great turn out from the people in Affton. We handed out t-shirts and stickers and had some good ol’ rock-n-roll playing on the float.

What a great crew of helpers!!

Slamapalooza 2022 was another huge success! It was an absolutely beautiful summer night, lots of visitors, fun games for kids, delicious food, and great music. We were blessed to raise over $7000 toward next year’s scholarships. Each year we give away $22, 750 to help kids go to Catholic high schools in the St. Louis area. Thanks to all who helped make it a success!

This year’s Super Scholarship goes to Henry Perry. The runner-up scholarship goes to Bryce Jones. And the Men’s Club Boy Scout Scholarship goes to Adam Kuhnert. We are so happy to award scholarships to these young men and wish them much success at their high schools!
