It’s always a pleasure to support @RitterPrepHS Cardinal Ritter College Prep! This year’s Gala was another huge success raising almost $800,000 for these amazing students. It’s also an honor meet and present the McMillan Scholarship Recipients at CRCP every year. Former school President, Leon Henderson, and I worked on creating an endowed Scholarship Fund there many years ago. We had three recipients this year who also received laptops. Helping our young people succeed is always a blessing! Congratulations to my dear friend and colleague, Tamiko Armstead, and her team for their outstanding leadership of the school. Let us all continue to commit to support this institution that has done so much for St. Louis! #CRCP #CardinalRitterCollegePrep #CatholicEducation

Join me in rounding up at the register at Schnucks! I’m always personally proud to support the Round Up campaign at Schnucks benefiting the @ULSTL Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis — and I invite you to do the same. Now through February 17, simply round up at checkout while you shop or make a donation of $1, $3 or $5! That small change adds up to real impact. Over the past year, we’ve been on the front lines helping families recover from the devastating tornado, providing temporary housing, food assistance, toiletries, home repairs, mental health support, transportation assistance, plywood, tarps, furniture, clothes, heaters, and critical resources to neighbors across our region. Your round-up helps us continue that life-changing work and strengthens the path toward a more resilient St. Louis. Thank you for standing with us and showing how generous St. Louis is once again while we serve over 200,000 people a year! #ULSTL #Schnucks #UrbanLeague

The CBTU and the Circle of Excellence Scholarship Foundation recently presented the Urban League @ULSTL with Dr. King and Lifetime Achievement Awards respectively. We are incredibly grateful for this recognition. These awards were dedicated to our 300 hard working staff and thousands of volunteers who serve over 200,000 clients each and every year! A very special thanks to Andreal Hoosman, Lew Moye, Jay Ozier and both of their respective committees at both organizations for honoring the work of the Urban League. We will strive harder than ever in 2026 and beyond to be worthy of these recognitions and do even more for St. Louis! Our best days are ahead of us! #ULSTL #UrbanLeague #CBTU #CircleOfExcellenceScholarshipFoundation

It was an honor for the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis @ULSTL to once again partner with @SaintLouisU for the Annual MLK Memorial Tribute, as we reflected on the life, legacy, and enduring call to action of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I am grateful for the powerful panel discussion, “The Black Church and the Urgency of Now,” featuring Dr. Katrina Thompson Moore and Rev. Anthony L. Riley, whose insights underscored the importance of history, faith, and accountability in addressing today’s challenges. We were also blessed to have a performance by Gospel Icon Vanessa Bell Armstrong who brought down the house along with St. Louis favorite the Coleman Hughes Project. We were also proud to recognize outstanding leaders and organizations whose service reflects Dr. King’s legacy: Knieba Jones-Johnson, Donna Bess Myers, For the Culture STL, Action St. Louis, Areeb Hasan, and our Lifetime Achievement honorees, Marian “Bo” Mehan, Herman Lessard, William Siedhoff and Ron Himes. Our Civic Leadership Award honorees, the Regional Business Council and Terrence Rogers, exemplify the impact of sustained civic engagement. Special thanks to Rochelle Smith, Vice President and Chief Belonging Officer, and Dr. Edward Feser, President of Saint Louis University, for their leadership and partnership, and to our sponsors whose continued support makes this important work possible. A very special thanks to our sponsors, partners, staff and volunteers as well! As we move forward, may we continue to honor Dr. King not only in remembrance, but through meaningful action that strengthens our communities and expands opportunity for all. #ULSTL #SLU #UrbanLeague #MLK #MLKDay2026
