Brace for Impact 46 was founded by former St. Louis Cardinal Kyle McClellan. They will host their fifth annual gala September 9th, 2023 at Four Seasons Hotel St Louis.  The event will hold both silent & live auctions, seated dinner and program explaining the work done in Haiti and North St. Louis. It will highlight achievements made in each program and show videos of those served by the organization. Many celebrities will be in attendance.
 
The gala will help Brace for Impact 46 continue to work with their partners and touch over 40,000 lives per day in Haiti and St. Louis. This event will help them continue to provide care to 41 children at IDADEE Children’s Home; including shelter, clothing, food, education, Bible education and medical care. It will help fund the school that provides education to 400+ students and employs 44 staff. In addition, it will help support CHIDA, the Medical Center, that provides care to thousands of people in the community. In North St. Louis, this event will help Brace for Impact 46, through their partnership with Tabernacle Community Development Corporation, purchase and renovate more North St. Louis homes. It will help employ more local contractors and provide homes for families to ensure stability, which will have a large IMPACT on their children.
 
Overall, the gala will be not only a night of raising funds and awareness to keep the programs growing, but it will also be a night of celebration of the IMPACT that has been made with help from our donors and partners to truly make an IMPACT in Haiti and North St. Louis.
