Boys & Girls Town of Missouri: Putting Kids First

Using a strength-based approach, Boys and Girls Town helps children focus on positive behaviors that can lead to improved self-esteem and ultimately, positive relationships with their peers and adults.
This is accomplished through a wide-range of programs such as specialized therapy designed for children and families, innovative programs like equestrian therapy and School in the Wilderness, and their mentoring program for young women, Changing Prisms-A Voyage of Self-Discovery. Boys and Girls Town of Missouri help children and their families put their lives back together! Learn more at www.bgtm.org.
Relay for Life
Wallis Companies has partnered with the American Cancer Society — Relay for Life — in support for many years. Relay For Life® is a fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money to help the American Cancer Society save lives, help those who have been touched by cancer, and empower individuals to fight back against this disease. During the event, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. Each team keeps at least one team member on the track at all times.
Relay is much more than a walk around a track. It is a time to remember those lost to cancer and celebrate those who have survived. It is a night for people who have shared the same experience to comfort and console one another. Read more at www.relayforlife.org.
