STAFF 

Cindi Mainer, President 
Involved in the nonprofit arena for more than twenty years, planning fundraisers, networking, and organizing boards has been tremendously rewarding. In the corporate and charitable world, most of the fundraising activities that I organized (only with the support of incredible volunteers) were centered around successful and exciting special events. Those events not only raised revenue but also raised awareness for the organizations for which I was a part, mostly serving as a Development Director.

The events you might have heard of were the Mini Grand-Prix, on the streets of downtown St. Louis (what a blast that was); the Jail-a-thon (enormous police department support - would love to revive that event); the Taste of Italy; the Dan Kelly Golf Classic with Gretzsky and Hull (may have been one of the first celebrity golf events around), and the infamous Relay for Life (originally a 24hour event, first held at Vianney High School),  a huge success still today; and, of course, the wonderfully popular Celebrity Karaoke event.
