Cap & Gown Ball


 The Third Annual Cap & Gown was a Ball!


The night was inspiring, the venue was stunning and the room was filled to capacity!  Thanks to 350 generous guests, College Bound can now direct over $200,000 new dollars toward students' success!
  

High School graduates Gabbi, Trey and Tim, along with collegian Ayriel shared their inspirational stories of success!



The backdrop for the evening was the lively and festive Palladium Saint Louis in Lafayette Square.
  
Nearly 80 CB students came out to greet and celebrate Cap & Gown guests.  Thanks to the generosity of Build-a-Bear Workshop, 56 collegians each received an adorable Grad bear!
  
George Paz, Chairman & CEO of Express Scripts, the Cap & Gown Presenting Sponsor, welcomed guests and shared his path to college.


After the Dutch Auction, guests danced the night away with DJ Raven Fox!
