Spread Ari's Light was founded in memory of Arianna Dougan, who was diagnosed with cancer at age 3 and lost her battle 8 years later. Ari loved to dance and her parents saw that the dance therapy she received during treatment greatly impacted her well-being and brought joy into her all-too-short life. The Pazazz Performing Company, where Ari's love of dance was born, founded the Gala in her honor and joined forces with Spread Ari's Light to bring dance and movement therapy to other young cancer patients and children with other serious illnesses. The 11th Annual Gala is presented by the Spread Ari's Light Foundation, carrying on the traditions of this magical event created by Pazazz.
 
Have some fun while you support Spread Ari's Light with St. Louis Blues' very own Kelly Chase as he leads our virtual Fund-A-Need giving opportunity. Bid on Silent Auction items, purchase Raffle tickets and end the night with a gift for yourself and Spread Ari's Light at the same time. All three will directly benefit the dance and movement therapy programs at St. Louis Children's Hospital and SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, funded by the Spread Ari's Light Foundation.
