Places 2011: Get Your MOTO Running

On Saturday, June 18, 2011 at the Moto Museum in Grand Center, over 160 people came out to support Places for People at this year's Places 2011: Get Your MOTO Running! We are pleased to announce this year's event was our most successful to date raising over $95,000 helping us partner with thousands of individuals living with mental illness on their road to recovery.

Special thanks to the evening's Honorary Chairs' Alison and John Ferring as well as all our event Co-Chairs Chris Kreutz and Laura Lock, committee members, guests, sponsors, volunteers, entertainers and staff who made this evening possible. 

The evening's entertainment featured a mix of road-warrior inspired fun with fire juggler Josh Routh, temporary tattoo artist from Personality Portraits, studio booth operated by GoodEye Photoshare, the artistic talents of Jen Hayes and finally party performers Lenny Klinger's Galaxy Band. Below is a slide show from the evening's festivities with photographs provided by Blue Shadow Photography.

  

Places at Page Construction Kickoff

On Thursday, December 9, 2010, Places for People's Executive Director Francie Broderick and State Treasurer Clint Zweifel "broke ground" on Places at Page. A ceremonial wall demolition celebrated the start of the project, which will result in 23 apartments with on-site support for people with serious mental illness. 

 

8th Annual Charity Golf Tournament

In September 2010, Places for People's 8th Annual Charity Golf Tournament raised over $56,000 to support core mental health services!

Over 120 golfers enjoyed picture-perfect weather and the beautiful course at the Missouri Bluffs Golf Club. PfP is very grateful to everyone who made the day such a wonderful success: our sponsors, players, committee members, volunteers, and the staff at Missouri Bluffs.

We look forward to seeing you at this year’s event on Friday, September 23, 2011!

 

Blue Moon June

In June 2010, 135 people came out to celebrate at the Jewel Box in Forest Park for Blue Moon June, which raised nearly $24,000 for Community Alternatives. The evening honored the Board of Directors from 2004 responsible for moving CA from a profit to a nonprofit entity. Mina Overton was recognized as "Board Member of the Year," and Dr. Bob Caslyn received a special award for his contribution to research.

We are very grateful for the generous donations from Sidney Street Cafe, The Viking Conference Center, and Mark and Stephanie Schnuck. Additionally, we sincerely thank our volunteer wait staff and our "queen of the kitchen," Anita Kippenberger!

 

Places at the Garden

In May 2010, Places for People hosted over 170 friends and supporters for a special evening of outdoor dining and entertainment at the Missouri Botanical Garden. This celebration highlighted PfP's ongoing and growing commitment to helping people with the most serious of mental illnesses on their individual paths to recovery.

With your help, we are proud to announce that over $83,000 was raised at the event to support our innovative, award-winning, and recovery-focused mental health services. We thank everyone who helped to make the evening a success!
