BJC HealthCare, CENTENE, Emerson and Nestle Purina are the lead sponsors for this year’s Crisis Nursery Golf Classic. Additional sponsorships are available.

Last year’s Charity Golf Classic raised more than $90,000 that went towards helping save the lives of more than 88,000 children and provided support to 100,000 families in crisis. DiAnne Mueller, Saint Louis Crisis Nursery’s CEO, says the tournament’s proceeds will help to continue much needed services for many families who are faced with unexpected crisis, such as overwhelming parental stress, domestic violence, and a lack of food or utilities.

“Saint Louis Crisis Nursery is happy to be here for families in need,” said Mueller. “All contributions received at the tournament helps us to provide quality care for vulnerable children, including food, diapers, medical care, clothing and therapeutic services when their parents are unable to.”

The Saint Louis Crisis Nursery is committed to preventing child abuse and neglect by offering real help and real hope to families in crisis. The Crisis Nursery is an independent, not-for-profit agency providing short-term, safe havens for more than 7,500 children a year, birth through age 12, whose families are faced with an emergency or crisis. The Nursery provides care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year at 5 sites, serving families throughout the greater St. Louis, St. Charles, Southern Illinois and surrounding regions.
