About Us

Women Leaders

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.

If you or someone you know is passionate about making a difference in the lives of children and youth with disabilities, we invite you to join our dynamic group of Women Leaders. Please contact us at info@sef-stl.org or call (314) 394-7030 for more information. Together, we can continue to positively impact the lives of those we serve.

As we celebrate these remarkable honorees, there is another exciting way to support students with disabilities: the Starfish Awards Silent Auction.

Northview School was awarded a $1,840 Principal Grant to support its end-of-the-year celebration. The original plan included a gaming truck, rolling cars, and a dunk tank—activities designed to reward students for their hard work and accomplishments throughout the school year.

The Special Education Foundation is excited to introduce a brand-new feature at this year's 3rd Annual Starfish Awards—an online silent auction packed with extraordinary experiences, exclusive memorabilia, dining adventures, and more.
