Woo-hoo!! Wings in the City has raised $1.3 million dollars for the Expressive Therapy program of Wings, BJC's (Barnes Jewish Hospital’s) pediatric hospice program!

All 56 butterflies were on display one last time on May 21st at at the Hyatt Regency in downtown St. Louis at the Arch.
13 of the 56 butterflies were auctioned off that evening.
The other butterflies were sponsored in advance and already had permanent homes established across the area.

Wings' Expressive Art Therapy program includes all forms of artistic expression: paintings, drawings, stories, etc. These forms of self-expression lead to greater self-understanding and the release of painful feelings.
It allows children to express through art what they can’t in words.
The Friends of Wings are the volunteer fundraising group supporting the Wings program.

Have an inspiring and creative week!
