Hello from me one final time, St. Louis! This is Chris Strub, the Giving Day Guy -- here to say congratulations to ALL the organizations participating in #GiveSTLDay, but an extra special *thank you* again to all ~50 nonprofits who appeared on our official livestream yesterday, both in person and virtually. It has been an honor to work with STLCF in 2019, 2020, 2023, 2024 and now 2025 to help share your stories -- seeing so many of you yesterday brought me incredible joy, and I hope that conveyed to our streams. The STLCF team played an enormous role in hosting all day long, managing our waiting room and supporting in many ways, and I am grateful. Of course, if you missed anything, all 9 of yesterday's livestreams are still available to be watched on replay. What did you think? What were your favorite moments? (fb)
