Variety Volunteers Help Expand Bikes for Kids Program
ST. LOUIS (SLFP.com), November 14, 2009 - More than 100 volunteers gathered at Whitfield School in Creve Coeur on Saturday, November 14, for Variety's annual Bike for Kids program.

The program provides 275 St. Louis children with physical and mental disabilities to take home what could be their first bicycle.

This year, the Bikes for Kids program is expanding to provide therapeutic bikes to Variety kids with physical disabilities, in addition to the traditional bicycles Variety has been gifting for 13 years. The therapeutic bikes are made by a company based near Chicago, and are customized to each child, based upon his or her specific needs. The bikes can cost between $1,500 and $3,000.

Through this program, more than 2,000 bikes have been delivered to children (ages 5-14) throughout the St. Louis area.

Variety volunteers assembled the bikes from 9 - 11 a.m. before presenting them to the children. Each bicycle featured a big red bow, along with a helmet, bike lock, T-shirt and safety instruction.

Variety's Bikes for Kids program was founded in 1995 by Variety Board member John R. Weber Sr. and Executive Director Jan Albus. The program gets to the heart of one of Variety's goals - to give mobility to children with disabilities. Since the program began, Variety has delivered more than 3,000 bikes to St. Louis area children (ages 5 - 14), thanks to sponsors, donors and volunteers. Major Bikes for Kids sponsors are World Wide Technology, THF Realty and the St. Louis Rams. For more information, visit www.varietystl.org

De La Salle Middle School Was Honored Recipient of 2009 Exhibit A Proceeds
ST. LOUIS (SLFP.com), November 11, 2009 - Guests at the 2009 Exhibit A: Art by Architects fundraiser at Cannon Design, November 5, enjoyed an opportunity to bid on sketches and drawings by notable architects from St. Louis and around the world.

The revitalized Power House offices of Cannon Design provided a stunning backdrop for 23 pieces of framed artwork that were auctioned to the highest bidder with proceeds benefiting the De La Salle Middle School at St. Matthew's (DLS), continuing the tradition from the inaugural event last year.

In the event program, Cannon Design North America President M. Kent Turner, AIA, MRAIC, stated, "DLS is a remarkable place doing remarkable work with remarkable but exceedingly challenged young people. The difference they are making in the lives of their kids is amazing. Get to know them while you're here."

That invitation was honored as many guests spent time visiting with students while viewing the artwork displayed on walls throughout the first two floors of the firm's office. The landmark Revival Style building, built in 1927 as part of the Municipal Service Building, was beautifully restored by Cannon Design and has received LEED Gold status.
