This year’s event at the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis is on Friday, April 28, and will feature Juana Summers, co-host of NPR’s “All Things Considered.” Most recently NPR’s political correspondent covering race, justice and politics, Summers joined “All Things Considered” in June 2022, alongside co-hosts Ailsa Chang, Ari Shapiro and Mary Louise Kelly.

The event begins with a cocktail hour at 6 p.m., followed by a gourmet dinner and program. Music from the Red and Black Brass Band, a live auction and a Golden Ticket drawing are also among the evening’s highlights.

Proceeds benefit St. Louis Public Radio (STLPR), a nonprofit media organization with a team of local reporters and producers that push the boundaries of storytelling, bringing context and humanity to the issues and ideas that affect life in the St. Louis metro region.
