LESA’s Dinner & Auction is our largest annual fundraising effort to support and sustain the future of Lutheran Christian education in the St. Louis Metro Area. Last year’s event raised funds that we used for need-based scholarships and educational resources such as STEM programs, professional development and curriculum guides.

This year’s event includes a live auction, scholarship fund-a-need and special tributes to our LESA Teacher of the Year, and Student Christian Leader of the Year.

Since 2004, LESA has awarded more than $8.2 million in financial assistance to families of all faiths in St. Louis and southern Illinois. To help advance that mission, the Lutheran Legacy Foundation, one of three of our endowment partners, has pledged to provide a generous match for endowment gifts and pledges made at this event.
