R
ed was the color of the evening at the elegant
Red Tie Gala, saluting 100 years of the
American Red Cross in St. Louis. More than
400 guests attended the gathering at St. Louis
Union Station, which was the culmination
of a yearlong celebration that recognized volunteers who
have responded to the community’s greatest crises in the
past century. The event, co-chaired by Randy and Veronica
McDonnell, raised more than $800,000 for local disaster relief
(see more photos in the MORE SEENS section).
