2024 Bread and Butter Gala FAQ

  • Where?
    • The Gala will be held in the Khorassan Room at The Chase Park-Plaza Hotel, 212 N Kingshighway Blvd, Saint Louis, MO 63108
    • Parking is in the garage off Maryland, just East of Kingshighway.
  • When?
    • 6 pm October 11th, 2024
  • Do you have a basic ‘run-of-show’ yet?
    • Not yet, but it will likely follow last year’s Gala.
  • Will there be a celebrity Emcee? If so, who?
  • Will there be a Keynote speaker? If so, who?
    • Yes! Our Keynote speaker will be Matt Miofsky, Lead Pastor at The Gathering, a large multi-site mainstream protestant church with a strong mission focus.
  • What is the dress code?
  • Will complimentary valet parking be provided?
    • There will be complimentary garage parking. We were advised the walk from the lobby, where valet parking is, to the Khorassan Room is much longer and more difficult that from the garage. The entrance for the hotel from the garage goes right by the event space.
  • When is the guest list due and what information will you need?
    • We can wait pretty close to the event for a final guest list, but guests who are able to register two weeks early (about the end of September) will have a menu choice guaranteed. All we need is name, email address and mobile number. We need the last two things for auction purchases and possible donations. We will not use them for other purposes beyond letting people that attend know about the 2025 Gala.
  • Are you seeking Sponsors for the event?
  • Will there be a charity auction?
    • We intend to have both a silent auction and a live auction. The silent auction will open before the event and live auction
  • Are you asking for item donations?
