Presentation of the 2025 Performing Through Life donation

Performing for Life is Dancing Thru Life's annual charity showcase, featuring our dancers alongside talented musicians and entertainers from across the St. Louis community. Through both our matinee and evening performances, these artists generously donate their time and talents to create an unforgettable day of entertainment while supporting the mission of Whole Kids Outreach.

Every ticket purchased helps make a difference. Net proceeds from ticket sales benefit Whole Kids Outreach. Sponsorship donations go directly to the organization, ensuring every gift supports their mission.

Together, we’ve proudly donated $168,000 to WKO!
