Story

Variety Kids are pretty special.  I've been involved with them for several years and they never cease to amaze me. 

To the right on this page you can click the Variety Makes Equipment Possible to see a few videos that show the remarkable work that they accomplish.

Variety St. Louis has been making the impossible, possible for local children with special needs for almost 90 years. I've always been inspired by Variety Kids' strength, courage, and spirit.  Variety made the necessary decision to cancel their biggest fundraising event of the year Dinner with the Stars.

This inspirational evening raises critical funds to provide Variety Kids with access to vital medical equipment such as wheelchairs, hearing aids, communication devices, and more.  

I have been honored this year by being named their Man of the Year, and even though the event was canceled, I know we have to continue to support them

Equipment gives children with disabilities the independence to engage with their world and the ability to just be kids!

Please join me in ensuring that Variety Kids and families don't lose access to the medical equipment that empowers them every day, especially during this time of increased need. I hope to raise $20,000 to keep making the impossible, possible. Thank you!
