Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria welcomes anyone and everyone for our 2024 February Giveback Tuesday event on February 27th! These events are a fantastic way for our Katie’s Pizza family to reach out to our beloved communities and for community members to come together for a meaningful cause. This month, the entire day’s sales from each Katie’s Pizza location are going toward nonprofits Coeur Academy, the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank, and the Wyman Center.
The giveback event’s funds will help the donees fulfill their missions of creating an education environment that works for every student, ending diaper need and period hygiene product poverty, and empowering economically disadvantaged teens to live successful lives.
Once a month, Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria hosts a Giveback Tuesday, where the restaurant donates 100% of the day’s profits from each of its three locations in Ballpark Village, Rock Hill, and Town & Country to three local nonprofit organizations. So far, Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria has donated $415,090 to St. Louis-area charities.
For the past decade, Coeur Academy has dedicated itself to providing academic, learning, and development environments that naturally accommodate each student and their specific needs. To enhance a child’s social, life, and job skill development, the nonprofit prioritizes small-group learning environments throughout its various services, including:
Coeur Academy is using the Giveback Tuesday funds to support the families who qualify for financial aid, allowing the organization to help ensure every child thrives and reaches their academic, emotional, and social goals so they can lead lives as confidently and independently as possible.
Since April 2014, the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank has been actively serving the St. Louis region, committed to its mission of building healthier communities by eliminating diaper need and period poverty through hygiene product access, education, and advocacy.
A donation of just $25 can supply a baby for six months. The nonprofit is using the Katie’s Pizza fundraiser funds to supplement the organization’s budget for bulk diaper purchases at discounted rates, ensuring sustained support for families in need. Just in 2023 alone, The St. Louis Area Diaper Bank provided nearly 3.2 million diapers to over 63,000 children and their caregivers, and it can’t wait to launch itself into its second decade of diaper and period product distribution and education with the donation from Katie’s Pizza.
Since its establishment in 1898, The Wyman Center has remained committed to its mission in the St. Louis area. Today, the nonprofit comprises a network of experts who help empower teens and young adults from economically disadvantaged circumstances to reach their fullest potential, lead successful lives, and build strong communities. The nonprofit will use the funds to help support its various programs, the upkeep of its 80-plus acre campground, and the continuous research needed to meet the changing needs of the young people it serves.
From its 125 years of experience and extensive research, the Wyman Center has curated its operations strategy to help teens thrive personally and professionally by supporting educational success, life and leadership skills, and healthy behaviors and relationships. To ensure that teens receive the equitable opportunities they need to reach their full potential, Wyman strives to:

Our upcoming Giveback Tuesday event will take place on August 27, and you won’t want to miss it! We are donating the day’s profits to Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and the Harris House.
Let’s come together and help these charities fulfill their respective missions of improving the human condition through plant science, treating and defeating childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases, and helping people reconnect with their lives by disconnecting with drug and alcohol addiction.
