The annual community charity initiative of St. Louis-based Brinkmann Constructors raised $17,500 in 2015 for Friends of Kids with Cancer. This is a local non-profit that helps children undergoing treatment for cancer through educational, recreational and emotional programs.
Brinkmann’s initiative is known as BECAUSE, which stands for Brinkmann Employees Care About United Service Efforts.
Members of the BECAUSE committee presented a check to Judy Ciapciak, executive director of Friends of Kids with Cancer, at the Cardinals Kids Cancer Center at the David C. Pratt Cancer Center in St. Louis Oct. 29.
