L’Chaim!
Thank you to everyone for joining us for Women’s Philanthropy’s signature event celebrating 125 Years of community, connection, and philanthropic giving.
Thank you for joining us for our 12th Annual L’Chaim: A Night in Monte Carlo.
It was truly an incredible evening, and we were so inspired to see more than 500 women from across our community come together to celebrate Jewish life, Jewish joy, and the incredible strength of Jewish women.
For 125 years, Jewish women in St. Louis have shown up, raised their hands, opened doors, brought others along, and helped build the vibrant Jewish community we have today. And now, It’s Our Time. Our time to build. Our time to lead. Our time to unite. Our time to protect our community, support Jewish vibrancy, and shape what comes next.
Thank you to Our 2026 Sponsors
