VJ Mancuso was born on November 20, 2006 and died October 12, 2010. VJ suffered from one of the most serious of heart conditions, hypo-plastic left heart syndrome, a congenital heart defect. VJ attended the Clarkson Valley Early Childhood Center (Rockwood School District). He also had a great relationship with the staff at St. Louis Children’s Hospital where he frequented for care since birth.

The VJ Mancuso Memorial Fund was founded in 2010. Money raised helps children with special needs, offering them the same learning opportunities as other children. Donations empower teachers with the equipment and resources to achieve these goals. St. Louis Children’s Hospital is another beneficiary of the Fund. Children, families and nurses receive resources to help care for special children in need. It is the goal to inspire people to learn, laugh and love as VJ did.

In 2013, trivia night raised its highest total ever with over $21,000. In three years the event has raised more than $53,000. Proceeds continue to benefit the Clarkson Valley Early Childhood Center (Rockwood School District) where VJ attended, Temple Israel’s Early Childhood, St. Ambrose Church & School and St. Louis Children’s Hospital. Items donated have included iPads for early childhood classrooms, infant and toddler clothing and toys, other day-to-day necesseties and funding for scholarships for school admissions.

VJ Mancuso Memorial Fund Trivia Night 2013-09-21

On behalf of the VJ Mancuso Memorial Fund, a non-profit organization, pending 501(3)(c) status, we would appreciate your consideration in becoming a Round Sponsor for the VJ Mancuso Trivia Night.

My husband and I created the Fund after our son, VJ passed away at the age of 47 months, due to a congenital heart defect at birth. We are dedicated to raising funds to provide needed resources for families, patients and nurses of St. Louis Children’s Hospital, St. Ambrose Church & School and Temple Israel Early Childhood. One of our main goals is to supply the Rockwood Early Childhood Center, where VJ attended, with at least one iPad in each classroom including the therapy rooms. The Fund’s long term plan is to assist local schools suffering from budget cuts by purchasing iPads to enhance early childhood learning for young children with or without special needs.

On September 21, 2013, we will be holding our third annual VJ Mancuso Memorial Fund Trivia Night at the JCC in Creve Coeur with Courtney Landrum from the Y98 FM Phillips and Co. Morning Show serving as host.

VJ Mancuso Trivia hosted by Courtney Landrum of y98's Phillips and Co.

We are seeking community support to make this event bigger and better than ever – and we need your help. This is truly a grassroots effort, with our family and friends dedicating their time, energy and enthusiasm for our cause in honor of our Son.

In return for your generous round sponsorship of $250, you will receive:

  • A trivia table, for up to eight people

  • A company logo will appear on screen and on handouts at each table
  • Your option of an advertising insert in our welcome packet, placed on all tables
