Fashion Week Helps Heat-up St. Louis
Heat-Up St. Louis has expanded its annual Super Heat-Up Religious Weekend Collections beginning Sunday, February 3 and now is extended for 8 weeks and ending on March 29, 2008. We've raised about $25,000 in small donations from are congregations of all faiths. This is an opportunity for area religious congregations of all denominations to take up special collections, make a special gift or Adopt-A-Family with a tax-deductible donation to help needy people stay warm and safe this winter because they can not afford to pay their delinquent high heating bills. Even though many congregations also face difficulties with their own heating bills, we encourage the more than 2,000 area congregations in Missouri and Illinois to participate. Unlike some other charities, 100% of all of our funds go towards servicing the needy. Not to worry, your donation will go back into the community where you direct it and will do the best good. With our social service partnerships we will qualify the real needy each winter. Larger tax-deductible donations may be made payable to Super Heat-Up Weekend Collections, c/o 1221 Locust Street, Suite 603, St. Louis, MO 63103. For assistance, referrals and counseling call our Resource Heat-Up St. Louis Hotline Monday thru Friday, at 314-241-7668. The Hotline is automated, so please be patient. Thank you!

The most fundraising was through the sales of hats in winter and summer programs, respectively, Put a Lid on Old Man Winter and the Cool Down Hat Festivals. It is through these events that much volunteer work has gone into, as social service and community action agencies, board members and friends have dedicated many a Saturday or Sunday to give out hats and caps, donated by the Bee Hat Building, in exchange for donations. One of the board members, Kevin McGowan, a developer, donated retail space on Washington Avenue for hat sales, until construction halted our efforts in July. And Heat-Up St. Louis was fortunate to have Ted Koplar of Koplar Communications donate retail space in the Central West End.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch lent valuable assistance through its new Community Matters program, letting Heat-Up St. Louis advertise its various special events and appeal messages to their special Fall and Summer Community Matters tabloid sections, which includes information about the charity and how it helps the community, including Cool Down St. Louis.
Without the support of the following media our efforts would not be possible.
Thank you!
