We are thrilled to announce the incredible success of our recent fundraising event in support of Crisis Nursery St. Louis! Held on July 13th at Soho Apartments in Soulard, this event brought our community together in a vibrant celebration of generosity and compassion, raising an impressive total of $4,277.
A Day of Community and Fun
The fundraiser was packed with engaging activities for our residents and guests. Highlights included a silent auction, a live auction with an MC, and music entertainment provided by DJ Triggered. Guests also enjoyed a fun-filled dunk tank courtesy of We Bounce STL, delicious sliders and sushi prepared by Eric Heckman, and a variety of beverages from Calypso Spirits Bar. We are incredibly grateful to our vendors, Kendra Scott and The Poser Company, who participated by selling merchandise and donating a portion of their profits to the cause.
Heartfelt Gratitude
“We are immensely grateful to all the companies and residents who donated to the fundraiser. It’s heartwarming to witness our community come together for such a meaningful cause,” said Jessica Nelson, Marketing Manager at LuxLiving. “While LuxLiving tenant events are always enjoyable, this one stood out as my favorite. Seeing our tenants unite to support Crisis Nursery was truly inspiring. The Crisis Nursery is vital for families without nearby support, providing a crucial safety net in times of need. I can’t wait for our next fundraiser with Crisis Nursery.”
Shiloh Kirchhoff, Event Coordinator at LuxLiving, also shared her thoughts: “As a former social worker, organizations like the St. Louis Crisis Nursery have always held a special place in my heart. Through LuxLiving, I had the incredible opportunity to support this vital institution. Working closely with Jessica, we turned our vision into reality, making a substantial contribution to the nursery and giving back to our community in a meaningful way.”
Impact and Community Support
Jen Trau, Development Coordinator at Crisis Nursery, expressed her gratitude, stating, “We were so touched by the love and support we felt during Saturday’s fundraising event. The effort that the Lux Living team put into the afternoon was so touching and the results are making a huge difference in the lives of the St. Louis children and families that we serve!”
The Saint Louis Crisis Nursery provides a short-term, safe haven for nearly 4,000 children a year, from birth through age 12, whose families face emergencies caused by illness, homelessness, domestic violence, or overwhelming parental stress. The funds raised will support Crisis Nursery’s mission to prevent child abuse and neglect by providing emergency intervention, respite care, and support to families in crisis.
