Giant Steps Dinner Auction: Celebrating Hope, Growth and Possibilities for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Martin Kilcoyne, Fox 2 Sports Director, will be master of ceremonies at a benefit auction for Giant Steps of St. Louis, a therapeutic school for children on the autism spectrum.

The event will take place at Giant Step’s new location, the historic Concordia Lutheran school building at 7281 Sarah St. in Maplewood. The event will include an appearance by St. Louis Rams cheerleaders, silent and live auctions, a wine drawing and fifty-fifty drawing. Something Elegant of Maplewood will cater hors d'oeuvre and dessert buffets and bar.

Giant Steps refurbished and moved into the school building over the summer, with significant help from the St. Louis Rams, who donated a new playground. On June 7^th, Head Coach Steve Spagnuolo and more than 100 Rams staff volunteers constructed the playground and painted every room in the building.  

 Founded in 1994 by a group of parents seeking comprehensive treatment for their children with autism, Giant Steps’ school program integrates therapy and special education to meet the individual needs of students aged 3-21. The agency also offers a six-week summer day camp specifically designed for children on the autism spectrum. Students and campers come to Giant Steps from more than 18 school districts in Missouri and Illinois.
