Annie Malone raises money, awareness for needy children
The raindrops and temperatures were falling but the rib tips and Polish sausage were hot and organizers of the Annie Malone Children & Family Service Center barbecue weren't about to fold their tents.
"From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. we're here, rain or sunshine," said Jahara Davis, coordinator for public relations and volunteers for the nonprofit agency. "If it starts raining, we're not leaving."
The barbecue at Kiener Plaza in downtown St Louis on Friday was that important because it kicked off a series of community and fund raising events for the non profit agency.
The activities culminate with an entire weekend of events on May 14 through 16, highlighted by the agency's annual May Day parade starting at 1 p.m. on Sunday, May 16 and a blues music festival at Kiener Plaza starting at 4 p.m.
The barbecue and May weekend celebrations lend financial support for an agency that provides a variety of social and education services in the St. Louis area. Annie Malone has roots in the St. Louis area that extend back to 1888, when it was established to care for neglected and orphaned African American children.
