We are passionate women with a shared commitment.
The Special Education Foundation Women Leaders is an active women’s group committed to helping children and youth with disabilities. More specifically, to fund special projects that support students with disabilities served by the Special School District of St. Louis County. It was established in 2009 based on guests’ interests at a friend-raiser in how they could help.
Over the years, the Women Leaders have organized various events, including fashion shows, to raise funds in support of special project ideas that support students with disabilities. In May 2023, they successfully utilized the Give STL Day fundraiser to gather resources for the upcoming school year. In addition to private donations, they exceeded their annual goal of raising $10,000.

The 4th Annual Starfish Awards will be held on Thursday, June 10, 2027, at The Reverie STL in Chesterfield. Nominations open Friday, October 16, 2026. Who will you nominate?
These grants are made possible through the generosity and fundraising efforts of the Women Leaders, whose work helps SEF provide resources directly to SSD schools and students.
The evening was made possible through the dedication of the SEF Women Leaders, planning committee members, volunteers, sponsors, donors, and attendees who came together to celebrate these exceptional individuals and support the mission of the Special Education Foundation.
