The Champions of Hope Gala is led by the American Cancer Society CEOs Against Cancer St. Louis chapter, a group of executives who partner with the nonprofit to promote workplace wellness and invest in the fight against cancer. “St. Louis is home to many corporate leaders who understand the impact of supporting the American Cancer Society’s mission,” says Kathy Fritz, associate director of premiere events for the local chapter. “The gala is a powerful example of the corporate and philanthropic communities coming together.” This year’s co-chairs are Joe McKee, chairman at PARIC Holdings, the gala’s presenting sponsor, and David Stokes, president and CEO of Grey Eagle Distributing. The event is possible through the support of additional key sponsors like Ameren, Vee-Jay and World Wide Technology.
