The 67th Annual Fleur de Lis Charity Ball was held on December 27 at the Hyatt Regency St. Louis at the Arch. Cathy Newbold was this year’s ball chair. Marian Ahlering is the president of the Fleur de Lis organization. The proceeds from the 2025 Fleur de Lis Charity Ball, at which 29 young women were presented to The Most Reverend Mitchell T. Rozanski, Archbishop of Saint Louis, will benefit SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. To date, the Fleur de Lis (www.Fleurdelisstl.org) has exceeded a total of $3 million in donations to SSM Cardinal Glennon. Last year, the hospital provided millions of dollars in free care to children from St. Louis and the surrounding bi-state area.
