Our Supporters

The Buddy Fund helps more than 15,000 boys and girls each year.

If you, or your company, are looking for an efficient and rewarding way to help the underprivileged and handicapped kids of St. Louis, and if you enjoy making new friends and acquaintenances, the Buddy Fund is a wonderful choice.
