Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis (BGCSTL), in partnership with its Women’s Leadership Circle (WLC), announces the return of the annual Sip & Shop event at Paisley Boutique, 36 W. Lockwood Ave., St. Louis, MO 63119.

The Women’s Leadership Circle Sip & Shop event was canceled last year due to inclement weather. Organizers are excited to bring the event back to the community in support of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis youth programs.

Sip & Shop is a signature Women’s Leadership Circle event that directly supports BGCSTL Youth of the Year program. A portion of the day’s sales at Paisley Boutique will be donated to Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis to help fund leadership development, academic support and mentorship programs for youth across the region.

The event offers attendees an opportunity to shop local, connect with members of the Women’s Leadership Circle and learn more about the impact of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis in the community.

The Youth of the Year program, BGCSTL’s premier leadership recognition initiative, celebrates outstanding teens who demonstrate academic excellence, service and strong character. Proceeds from the Sip & Shop event help strengthen programming that prepares young people to become future-ready leaders.

“We are grateful for the new partnership with Paisley Boutique and the support of the community,” said Boys & Girls Clubs President and CEO Brandon Williams. “Events like Sip & Shop allow us to invest directly in youth while building meaningful connections among women leaders in St. Louis.”

Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis provides safe, structured and affordable programs for youth ages 6 to 18 throughout Missouri and Illinois. Through academic enrichment, workforce readiness initiatives and leadership development programs, BGCSTL serves thousands of youth annually.

Community members are encouraged to attend the Women’s Leadership Circle Sip & Shop event and support local businesses while giving back to St. Louis youth.

Future updates will be shared on Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis social media channels, including Facebook and Instagram, and on the organization’s website at www.bgcstl.org.
