EVENTS

Join us for a fun evening

Each winter, the CID Young Professionals group hosts a Trivia Night. In the spring, we host our signature gala, CID OUT LOUD! Our generous St. Louis community includes individuals, businesses, organizations and corporate friends who sponsor, donate, attend and volunteer to help at these events. Proceeds go toward full tuition support for children who attend the CID school.
