4YOU: Over $10,000 raised during BCI Giving Day

ST. PETERS, Mo. (KMOV) – We partnered with Boone Center, Inc. (BCI) to help raise money during a giving day on March 15.

BCI was founded in 1959. The nonprofit inspires and supports people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, challenging personal growth and development through a continuum of innovative employment opportunities.

The nonprofit has been a focus of KMOV’s new program called 4YOU.

“To have our inaugural giving day line up with the finale of our 4You profile is more than we could have ever dreamed of,” said BCI Development Director Kristin Williams. “We are already experiencing the impact of KMOV’s coverage in the form of calls and tours. Their team has done an incredible job! And now we have the chance to do something really big.”

The goal was to raise $10,000 during the one-day donation drive. In total, Giving Day raised $10,489!

The money raised during the giving day will go towards creating 48 new jobs for adults with disabilities under BCI’s organizational employment program.
