You are invited to a night of celebration and joy to mark 100 years of the American Youth Foundation in its home city, St. Louis, Missouri! There will be cocktails, dinner, dancing, walks down memory lane, awards, and fundraising efforts to honor our centennial and secure our foundation's future.

This is not a black-tie affair – the dress for the event is cocktail attire, and encourage you to get creative and embrace the checkerboard theme!

We will recognize Dick Gephardt and Pat Mulcahy as Honorary Co-Chairs for the AYF Centennial Campaign. We will also honor former AYF President and CEO Anna Kay Vorsteg with the AYF Lasting Legacy award in recognition of her four decades of service, her selfless leadership, and her enduring legacy.

Discounted accommodations are available at The Cheshire St. Louis and the Moonrise Hotel for the weekend. Please note all reservations must be made by Sept. 17 to secure a discounted rate.
