The YMCA Book Fair is now in its 34th year and will be held Aug. 17 through 22 at the Kennedy Recreation Center, 6050 Wells Road in St. Louis.
The annual event is one of the largest fund raisers for the YMCA of St. Louis, benefiting literacy programs, such as one-on-one tutoring for children and adults, free books and parent support programs at 26 locations across the St. Louis metro area. Over the years the book fair has raised more than $1.6 million for Y Community Literacy.
Join the walk to raise funds for the Children's Tumor Foundation. 
The Foundation's mission is to end neurofibromatosis (NR) through research. NF is a common, yet under-recognized, genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body. The disorder can lead to blindness, bone abnormalities, cancer, deafness, disfigurement, learning disabilities and excruciating and disabling pain. NF affects one in every 3,000 people.
