The event was held to benefit The Jack and J.T. Snow Scientific Research Foundation.

The evening was hosted by KMOV’s Steve Savard which included a hunt for Easter eggs filled with fabulous prizes such as Rams tickets with pre-game field access, a VIP tour of Grant’s Farm, a diamond necklace from Décor-Interiors and Jewelry, Cardinal Diamond Suite tickets and much more.

“We cannot thank Grant’s Farm and our sponsors, Clayco and Concrete Strategies for supporting our Foundation and helping us put on such a wonderful event. We were able to raise a significant amount of money to help support our mission of stopping Wolfram syndrome and helping those afflicted with this horrible disease”, said Foundation President, Stephanie Gebel. “Without the help of all of ours sponsors and event attendees we could not continue to support the critical research being done here in St. Louis at Washington University’s School of Medicine as well as overseas.”
