Meet the 10 Nonprofits Behind Rosé Day 2026

When you walk the Central West End on May 2 with a glass of rosé in hand, you're doing more than sipping — you're standing with 10 organizations that are changing the lives of women and families across St. Louis.

Here's a look at who they are and why they matter.

Safe Connections — Operates a 24-hour crisis helpline and provides licensed therapy, support groups, and prevention education for survivors of domestic and sexual violence. They've been doing this work for 50 years.

SLOCA (St. Louis Ovarian Cancer Awareness) — Delivers Sister Boxes to 200 newly diagnosed women each year and has funded over $300,000 in ovarian cancer research. Awareness saves lives — and SLOCA makes sure St. Louis knows the symptoms.

Pink Ribbon Good — When cancer patients can't cook dinner, get to chemo, or keep up with the house, Pink Ribbon Good steps in with free meals, rides, housecleaning, and peer support. No one fights alone.

Diamond Diva Empowerment Foundation — Helps women and children affected by domestic violence rebuild through three Pathways programs: emergency housing, trauma-focused therapy, and education for self-sufficiency.

STL Diaper Bank — One in three U.S. families struggles to afford enough diapers, and they aren't covered by food stamps. The STL Diaper Bank closes that gap — distributing diapers and menstrual products to families across the region.

Susan G. Komen Missouri — The largest nonprofit funder of breast cancer research in the world, working locally in Missouri through screening assistance, a breast care helpline, and community education.

Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region — Provides preventive care, cancer screenings, STI testing, contraception, and health education to thousands of patients each year — regardless of ability to pay.

LifeWise STL — Formerly Kingdom House, serving St. Louis since 1902. Offers 17 programs — from early childhood education to senior care — helping families break cycles of poverty through lasting relationships, not just quick fixes.

Healing Action — A survivor-founded organization providing trauma therapy, case management, housing, and peer support to over 700 survivors of sex trafficking. One hundred active survivors are receiving services right now.

Lydia's House — The only standalone transitional housing program in eastern Missouri for women and children fleeing domestic violence. Over 475,000 safe bed nights provided — and survivors gain job skills through Lydia's Ladle.

Why It Matters

Only about 10% of philanthropic dollars in the St. Louis region go to organizations empowering women and girls. Rosé Day exists to change that. A portion of every $40 ticket supports these 10 partners directly.

So when you show up on May 2, you're not just having a great afternoon — you're part of something bigger.
