This year, L’Chaim! isn’t just an event—it’s an experience.
Step into A Night in Monte Carlo. Celebrate alongside an incredible community of women making real impact. Sip elevated cocktails, explore curated food stations, and try your luck at lively casino-style games—all in a high-energy atmosphere designed for mixing, mingling, and making the night your own.
Dress up. Bring your friends. Come ready for a night that’s as fun as it is meaningful.
Only Jewish Federation of St. Louis Women’s Philanthropy can create a night like this—where purpose meets style and giving back feels this good.
Come for the experience. Stay for the connection. Leave feeling part of something bigger.
L’Chaim! 2026—raise a glass to a night unlike any other.
