Tribute to Success St. Louis 2020 Honorees

The annual Tribute to Success Luncheon celebrates the achievements of extraordinary individuals and groups who have inspired others through their stories of passion, hope, collaboration and leadership. These honorees are nominated by community members, organizations and companies in recognition of their achievements and contributions. We will celebrate 44 honorees at this year’s luncheon, which is our ninth Tribute to Success in St. Louis.

The event also includes a keynote address, silent auction and time for networking. This year’s event focuses especially reentry and how we can support individuals returning home from incarceration through professional development/training opportunities and collaborative partnerships. Funds raised from the event help us equip individuals and families with the hope, resources and support they need to achieve economic independence.
