The Arya Foundation held its “10 Year Anniversary Gala” on October 5 at the Purser Center in Logan University. This event celebrated ten years of helping children with special needs.

AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 QUESTIONS
There is nothing quite like a trivia event in the shaded outdoors with food and people who have a shared mission: helping our community. We had several questions about the world and enjoyed meeting our first Arya Kid College Grad.
ENDLESS SUMMER TRIVIA
We had a blast hosting a trivia event outdoors in Shaw Park with snacks and several rounds of questions. The competition was fierce and we were able to laugh and enjoy our way to some great memories.
CRAFT TOUR 2K21
We attended several craft fairs from October through December while showcasing the jewelry made by kids with special needs and volunteers. There was so much positive feedback and at one point, we were selling a piece of jewelry every 3-4 minutes. Talk about busy!
HOLLYBOLLY TRIVIAWOOD
Due to popular demand, The Arya Foundation brought back Trivia! With questions about Hollywood with a dash of Bollywood, we put everyone’s knowledge to the test. With several teams on a gorgeous day, we proudly talked about the Arya Foundation while being quizzed with over 80 questions.
VIRTUAL MONSTER MASHUP & GRAVY
We hosted our first virtual event with several guest speakers who entertained and discussed the latest in what The Arya Foundation and the community are doing. It was an event that made us laugh, cry, and feel everything in between. Hosted by our Board Member Dustin (he looks exactly like the cartoon photo in the poster).
CRAFT TOUR 2K19
All of our jewelry is made by children with special needs and volunteers using the highest quality crystals and metals. We attended several craft fairs and were able to receive a lot of positive feedback on the experience and quality of the jewelry. Make sure to attend our events so you can get a chance to see it for yourself!
SUMMER TO REMEMBER BALL
The Arya Foundation hosted its 5th Annual Fundraiser in the beautiful Purser Center of Logan University. We had a great guest speaker who moved us, a wide range of jewelry made by children with special needs and volunteers, and a dance party that put everyone on their feet.
GOLDEN GALA
The Arya Foundation had its 4th annual fundraiser with over 150 people. From walking the red carpet to a full-service dinner as well as several performances from organizations around St. Louis, this event was a huge accomplishment to our growth.
PERFORMANCE DINNER
Our 3rd annual fundraiser took place with over 100 people. We listened to an amazing acapella group, were inspired by an Indian dance, and fell in love with a unique dance group. Several local restaurants even provided an excellent dinner for an amazing night.
VALENTINE TRIVIA
Our 2nd annual fundraiser was a trivia event at the Maryland Heights Community Center. We put together a night of fun to challenge everyone’s brains. It was the perfect opportunity to challenge last year’s winner and try to claim this year’s title of “smarty-pants”.
valentine’s day trivia 2015
The first annual fundraiser hosted by The Arya Foundation was held on February 14, 2015. We put together a night of fun Valentine’s Day trivia to test each other’s knowledge. We had a lot of fun challenging our friends and family to see who the real “smarty-pants” of the group was!
