Celebrating 90 Years of Impact
In December 1933, our extraordinary history began.
We are thrilled to celebrate this significant milestone as Variety St. Louis reaches its 90th year of dedicated service to children with special needs.
Our generous community refuses to let children with disabilities go unnoticed. Compassionate individuals, like YOU, empower children with the tools to safely navigate the world, proudly express themselves, and unleash their full potential!
To meet children’s evolving needs year after year, Variety has adapted to create innovative and unique program offerings to maximize the impact for families.

As we celebrate nine decades of commitment to local children and their families, we look forward to what more we can achieve together. Imagine the life-changing impact we can make possible…
