Forest Park Balloon Race Program 2018

20 The Great Forest Park Balloon Race • Presented by PNC Bank Accessibility Ascension Sponsors the Accessibility Viewing Area ASCENSION STRIVES TO PROVIDE COMPASSIONATE , personalized care that leaves no one behind. As a way to demonstrate that commitment to our St. Louis community, we are sponsoring the Ascension Accessibility Viewing Area at the Great Forest Park Balloon Race, because we believe everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy the sights and sounds of this St. Louis tradition. Family members with disabilities or who are wheelchair-bound will now have a front row seat for the action and fun. Please stop by our tent, or, better yet, pull up to the waiting area and one of our associates will be happy to help you find your way. Not long ago, Ascension was a little-known organization in the St. Louis area, where it was established in 1999. Since then, it has grown to become the largest non-profit health system in the U.S. and the largest Catholic health system in the world, fulfilling its Mission to serve all, with special attention to persons living in poverty and those most vulnerable, in 24 states and the District of Columbia. With more than a thousand associates in the region, Ascension continues to live out its Mission both near and far. The Ascension Accessibility Viewing Area at the Great Forest Park Balloon Race is just one of many ways we have left our indelible footprint here. In addition to sponsoring accessibility at other St. Louis destinations, Ascension also launched a program called Your Move Chess, an after-school chess program in the Ferguson-Florissant School District and other schools in the St. Louis area.
