Care to Learn’s Upcoming 007-Themed Gala will be a Thriller!

After the success of the “Great Gatsby” theme for last year’s fundraiser (see photos below), the nonprofit, Care to Learn, is crafting a critical 007 mission with thrilling adventures – for a purpose.

“License to Care” takes place from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m., Friday, May 10, at the Coronado Ballroom. Guests will enjoy Bond-themed performers, soulful musicians, casino games, culinary delights and VIP luxuries, while mingling with some of the region’s most interesting, stylish and philanthropic community leaders.

Proceeds from the night will help support the organization’s mission to provide immediate funding to meet emergent health, hunger and hygiene needs, so every student can be successful in school. Founded by Missouri businessman, Doug Pitt, Care to Learn partners with school districts, local businesses and the community to meet the needs of students. The organization has 34 Chapters across Missouri, including Care to Learn – Greater St. Louis region.

Tickets for this must-attend night are available at caretolearn.org/licensetocare.
