I am a member of a committee spear heading a fundraising event, so I wanted to do this quick plug for it...

On Saturday February 19, 2005 "Friends of Wings" will be hosting the Third Annual Membership Drive & Cocktail Extravaganza "Wings in the Twilight" at St. Louis City Hall featuring a Cocktail Extravaganza, Top St. Louis Restaurants & Chefs, and Dancing to Dr. Zhivegas.

Wings is a non profit organization that provides home care and respite to children from newborn through 21 years who have progressive, life threatening or life limiting illnesses or conditions regardless of their ability to pay.

In 1997, BJC Health System assured that a full continuum of care would be available for children by initiating our region’s first, and only, licensed and Medicare / Medicaid certified pediatric hospice program.

During the time that a child is cared for by the hospice team, the staff and volunteers provide a variety of activities and information that enable families to make the most of their time together. These activities help families make memories together, celebrate life and bring peace and comfort during the child’s final days.

Wings has evolved over the past six years to serve over 200 children in the St. Louis area. The “Friends of Wings” was founded to provide awareness and financial support to the Wings program. All monies raised will be donated to Wings to expand the capabilities of the program – whether in number of families cared for or the extent of services offered – as all donated funds go directly to supporting the patients and their families. All contributions are tax-deductible (federal ID# 43-1450457).
