**HOLIDAY ADOPTION and Garage Sale follow up**

St Patrick’s Center Holiday Adoption 2025

Last year our club supported St. Patrick’s Center by donating items for the “move-in kits” program and by adopting 2 families with holiday gifts. We will continue with this support, but after receiving suggestions from some of our members, we plan to adopt a few more families. You can donate by choosing an individual gift or gifts from the Sign-up Genius list or a household gift that all the families want and need from the same list.

Sign-Up link:
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080948ACAB28A4FB6-59550859-holiday

Items can be dropped off at the Rutgers and TTUN game watches or contact Judy or Charlotte:
Judy Simon: 636-226-6937
Charlotte Bukowski: 314-229-8158

We are very grateful for all of our very generous Buckeyes. St. Patrick’s Center, Circle of Concern (food collection at the game watches), and Kidsmart (back-to-school supplies at the summer picnic) very much appreciate the support our club gives them.

Thank you St. Louis Buckeyes!!

Garage Sale 2025

We held our Buckeye Garage Sale at the Penn State game watch and raised $466 for our scholarship fund. Again, thank you to all who donated and all who purchased Buckeye gear. We had so many donations that we plan to have a second garage sale, tentatively at the game watch for the Big Ten Championship -- More information as we get closer to the end of the regular season. If anyone is interested in an Ohio State card table and folding chairs (athletic logo on each piece), please let me know. It is in good condition and free to a good home. - Judy Simon, [email protected] 636-226-6937

Our St. Louis Alumni Club is helping St. Patrick's Center with their Holiday Wishes Program by adopting a few of their families. If you would like to participate, please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. Gifts can be brought to the Rutgers or Michigan game watch or...
