Celebrate, Support, Share
Join us in celebrating BCI’s Day of Giving on March 15th—a special day dedicated to raising funds and awareness for our mission! This date holds deep significance, marking the anniversary of when our nonprofit received its Missouri Certificate of Incorporation in 1960.
For over six decades, we have empowered people with disabilities by providing meaningful employment opportunities that foster independence, confidence, and personal growth. Your support every March 15th will directly contribute to expanding our programs, enhancing workplace accessibility, and creating new pathways for success.
How Your Gift Makes an Impact
Every dollar raised during the Day of Giving will help us:
- Expand job opportunities for individuals with disabilities
- Enhance workplace accessibility with adaptive technology and resources
- Grow our Skills Center programs, providing specialized vocational training
- Support our dedicated employees with essential tools and services for success
Together, we can continue to inspire, challenge, and empower those we serve. Mark your calendar for March 15th, and join us in making a lasting difference!

Also Honoring a Legacy of Dedication
Before we even began observing Day of Giving, March 15th had already taken on a special significance. In 2017, we declared it Janet Lee Day to honor a wonderful woman who retired after an extraordinary career that spanned almost 46 years.
When we reflect on how much BCI evolved during her time with us, it’s truly astonishing. Janet joined BCI in 1971 at the age of 21, long before we expanded into contract packaging, developed our employment continuum, or moved into our current St. Peters facility. She was the first long-time team member to retire from BCI, and her send-off was nothing short of legendary.
Janet’s career embodies the heart of our mission—offering people with disabilities meaningful employment opportunities, the freedom to choose their path, and the ability to work for as long as they wish in a job that brings them joy and purpose.
It’s because of support from donors and community partners that we’ve been able to expand our programming, create new job opportunities, and pave the way for future generations of people like Janet.
On March 15th, as we celebrate our Day of Giving, we also celebrate Janet’s legacy and the many individuals whose lives are enriched through our services. Your financial support ensures that we can continue evolving, innovating, and providing opportunities for people to thrive.
Join us in honoring Janet’s legacy and shaping the future of BCI with a gift on BCI Day of Giving.
