SPECIAL EVENT INVOLVEMENT – 2008-2018
Have a Heart…Heat a Home…VOLUNTEERS NEEDED, AS OFFICIAL GREETERS…The 18th Annual Hardee’s Rise and Shine for Heat-Up St. Louis event, is scheduled for Friday, February 9, 2018, from 6:00 a.m. until 10:30 a.m., at area participating Missouri and Illinois Hardee’s Restaurants.
The money collected in that community stays in that community.
This past February, thanks to hundreds of loyal Hardee’s customers, Heat-Up St. Louis raised $300,000. 100% of all monies donated went directly to helping area seniors, the disabled and needy families with small children with their high heating bills.
For this event, community volunteers serve as celebrity greeters wearing aprons in Hardee’s Restaurants and directing customers to purchase Sausage & Egg Biscuit or Egg Biscuit Sandwiches for the special price of $1.00, and they collect additional small donations in their aprons or canisters.
All proceeds are then donated to Heat-Up St. Louis, Inc. Businesses and groups can pre-order sandwiches in bulk by making advance arrangements — please call, April, at Hardee’s Marketing at 314-259-6431. She will FAX you back an order form. We will also accept checks for larger donations, merely drop-off in the drive-thru or in-restaurant on the day of the event, or check out our donation page on the website. Local media, civic, political and religious personalities also support this annual media neutral event.
Schnucks Scan and Give to Heat-Up
In January Schnucks Scan and Give to Heat-Up was executed in the supermarkets in Missouri and Illinois. The fundraiser is co-sponsored by FOX 2, Y-98 FM, KPLR-TV 11, Suburban Journals and CITI. We also appreciate Charter Cable’s support. During this five-week charity drive, shoppers can scan $5 or $3 donation coupons onto their grocery receipts, totaling any amounts at the check-outs lanes or courtesy desks. Larger donations may be made with a check to Heat-Up St. Louis, c/o UMB Bank, P.O. Box 868, St. Louis, MO 63188 or by going to the donation page on this website for a secured credit card transaction.

Shake Our Cans and Cool Down The Seniors fundraiser at Busch this summer will include area volunteers, St. Louis Firefighters, and social service groups, and board members will wear special yellow Cool Down caps and solicit cash in buckets in front of all gates at Busch Stadium by taking donations from Cardinal fans. Also, the charity will use it’s new Cool Down St. Louis Donation tent, so that Cards fans can drop off tax-deductible donations. Also the general public and UMB Bank customers can always drop off their donations to Cool Down St. Louis at all bank locations in Missouri and Illinois. Under the hot sizzling sun, volunteers raised more than $10,000 in small donations, during a three-day period from the generosity of the Cardinals fans. Last year’s fundraiser was held on August 14, 15 and 16 at Busch Stadium. The charity is now accepting year-round, new and good working-used air-conditioners, call 314-241-7668. You can make a special $125.00 tax-deductible donation and Adopt-A-Family by helping us purchase an air-conditioner or paying an electric bill. Also see our donation page for secured credit card donations.
Fashion Week Helps Heat-Up St. Louis
Heat-Up St. Louis expanded its annual Super Heat-Up Religious Weekend Collections from Sunday, February 3 – March 29, 2008. We’ve raised about $25,000 in small donations from are congregations of all faiths. This is an opportunity for area religious congregations of all denominations to take up special collections, make a special gift or Adopt-A-Family with a tax-deductible donation to help needy people stay warm and safe this winter because they can not afford to pay their delinquent high heating bills.
Even though many congregations also face difficulties with their own heating bills, we encourage the more than 2,000 area congregations in Missouri and Illinois to participate. Unlike some other charities, 100% of all of our funds go towards servicing the needy.
Not to worry, your donation will go back into the community where you direct it and will do the best good.
With our social service partnerships we will qualify the real needy each winter. Larger tax-deductible donations may be made payable to Super Heat-Up Weekend Collections, c/o 1221 Locust Street, Suite 603, St. Louis, MO 63103. For assistance, referrals and counseling call our Resource Heat-Up St. Louis Hotline Monday thru Friday, at 314-241-7668. The Hotline is automated, so please be patient. Thank you!

The most fundraising was through the sales of hats in winter and summer programs, respectively, Put a Lid on Old Man Winter and the Cool Down Hat Festivals. It is through these events that much volunteer work has gone into, as social service and community action agencies, board members and friends have dedicated many a Saturday or Sunday to give out hats and caps, donated by the Bee Hat Building, in exchange for donations. One of the board members, Kevin McGowan, a developer, donated retail space on Washington Avenue for hat sales, until construction halted our efforts in July. And Heat-Up St. Louis was fortunate to have Ted Koplar of Koplar Communications donate retail space in the Central West End.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch lent valuable assistance through its new Community Matters program, letting Heat-Up St. Louis advertise its various special events and appeal messages to their special Fall and Summer Community Matters tabloid sections, which includes information about the charity and how it helps the community, including Cool Down St. Louis.
