NOTE:Overall the event was very classy and informative with the importance of getting screened for cancer and surviving it. Everyone there seem to have enjoyed themselves (especially with the free Remy Martins during VIP hour LOL). But in general, this event is slowly becoming one of the premier annual events to appear in St Louis. Some of the other STL personalities spotted were club owners Daryl Oliver and Cornell Boone, and club event promoters Kerry Alexander and Dano Johnson and Triky Haley, and Eddie Hollman.
