The 32nd Annual Celebration for Children
Saturday, September 26, 2026 ~ 5:00-8:30 p.m.

The 2026 Celebration for Children benefiting Cornerstone Center for Early Learning-where bright futures set sail-returns to Wild Carrot, the neighborhood space that's become home to this event and is owned by a Cornerstone alum family. You can see more about last year's gathering in the Ladue News photo feature here.

This adults-only evening brings together eclectic eats, hand crafted libations, live and silent auctions, a paddle raise, and a Cornerstone story that shows how your support strengthens family stability, expands access to nutritious meals, and ensures children receive the early learning and therapeutic supports that set them up for long-term success. Planned by our volunteer Celebration Committee, the night offers a chance to enjoy yourself while making a direct, lasting difference for Cornerstone kids.
