The Saint Louis Zoo is a treasure in the fabric of St. Louis and surrounding areas. While their work in conservation has earned them numerous accolades throughout the years, the Zoo has made animal education (and just plain fun!) accessible to all by keeping admission free.

For children facing a disease like cancer, feeling like a “normal” kid may be impossible. But organizations like Rapahope in Mobile, Alabama, seek to change that. We awarded Rapahope one of four 2024 Inspire Awards to recognize their work bringing joy to children facing cancer.
