Holiday Concert

SSM Health Care-St. Louis is hosting an evening of music, dance and cheer to start the holiday season. A choir of 24 members will perform in two concerts on Dec. 1 at the Touhill Performing Arts Center on the campus of the University of Missouri-St. Louis.

The shows include 21 songs as well as a sing-a-long portion to get the audience involved. Cookies and punch will be available for donations after the shows and Santa, Mrs. Claus and the Rally Squirrel will be there to give free gifts to the kids.

Tickets are $5 and all proceeds go to the SSM Employee Relief Fund. Tickets can be purchased Nov. 28-30 at the SSM Health Care-St. Louis hospital gift shops, or at the doors of the Touhill before the shows on Dec. 1. Cash only will be accepted at the doors (no credit cards).

Hospital ticket locations include: SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center, SSM DePaul Health Center, SSM St. Clare Health Center, SSM St. Joseph Health Center, SSM St. Joseph Hospital West and SSM St. Mary’s Health Center.  

All proceeds from this event will benefit the SSM Health Care-St. Louis Employee Relief Fund (ERF), which assists our co-workers who are in financial need due to a crisis. The ERF aided 34 of our colleagues after the Good Friday tornado struck portions of St. Louis last spring. The ERF was able to provide $30,000 in relief to those affected by the storm.
