The railroad has played a major part in the history of St. Louis, and freight and passenger train service is strong throughout the city and region today. The Union Station Hotel, the site of the 2018 conference and convention, served as the city’s train station until its conversion into a hotel and shopping center in the 1980s. This year marks a decade of success for the ACB Brenda Dillon Memorial Walk! Since 2009, the walk has raised over $325,000 and helped fund the many of ACB’s programs and services.
This year’s walk-only event will take place outside the hotel, rain or shine, on Saturday, June 30th. Teams are once again able to split funds raised between ACB and affiliates, and you can participate in the walk as a virtual walker if you can’t make it to St. Louis.
The ACB Walk Committee hopes you’ll join us aboard the Dillon Express this year!
