Donation Request: In memory of Kiara Holden (June 13, 2005 – January 23, 2020), we invite riders to honor her legacy by donating art supplies, such as paint, brushes, markers, pencils, canvases, or sketchbooks, to the Children’s Hospital in St. Louis.

Kiara was a talented and passionate young artist who enjoyed creating art. Your contributions will help inspire creativity and comfort in other children, just as art did for Kiara.
