Recently we celebrated an incredible milestone: the 30th anniversary of the Charmaine Chapman Society!   Hosted at World Wide Technology, the morning honored three decades of transformative philanthropy, during which the society has raised over $90 million to uplift and empower our community.   We were beyond thrilled to celebrate and honor Dr. Donald Suggs, co-founder of the Charmaine Chapman Society and publisher of The The St. Louis American, for his visionary leadership. Today, the society stands as one of the top African American philanthropic giving groups in the nation—an achievement built on the passion and generosity of its members.   We were also honored to hear from Dave Steward, Chair and Founder of World Wide Technology and co-chair of the Charmaine Chapman Society fundraiser campaign in 2001 and 2002. He shared heartfelt reflections on what it means to be a part of the society and expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to its incredible legacy.   A heartfelt thank you to World Wide Technology for hosting this remarkable celebration and to every member of the Charmaine Chapman Society for your unwavering commitment to helping people live their best possible lives.   Here’s to 30 years of impact—and the many more to come! 🙌
