Celebrating 75 Years of Inclusion and Service in the Community
In celebration of the St. Louis Arc’s 75th Anniversary, we, as an organization, have been saying BRAVO! to organizations and businesses throughout the community who partner in our mission of inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
This initiative has been so well received that we decided to provide an opportunity for our participants, families, and staff to say BRAVO! to people or places in the community they feel are deserving.
We are excited to introduce the St. Louis Arc BRAVO Certificates!
Anyone can hand out this certificate to a person or business in their community who is “doing it right!” This could be a local coffee barista who treated a person with disabilities with respect, or a business that tries to be inclusive, or anything else that you feel is worthy of positive recognition.
Here is How You Can Access a St. Louis Arc Bravo Certificate
- Download it from our website: https://www.slarc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Fillable-Bravo-Certificate.pdf
- Download it from the link in our social media post or bios on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn
- Pick up printed copies at one of these Arc locations at the front desk:
Warson Office, 1177 N. Warson Rd., St. Louis 63132
Maplewood Hub, 3117 S. Big Bend Blvd., Maplewood 63143
North County Arc, 637 Dunn Road, Hazelwood 63042
The BRAVO Certificate is a fillable PDF that you will be able to download and type in the awardee information and the name of who is presenting the award, or you can print it from a color printer and write-in the information.
If you pick up certificates at an Arc location, they will have a gold ribbon sticker embellishment on them. If you download the certificates, they will have the image of the gold ribbon embellishment, instead.
When you present your award, we encourage you to TAKE A PHOTO, THEN POST, and TAG @stlouisarc on social media so that we can repost it and share the community-wide Bravo Certificates! You are also welcome to email the photo to: Celebrationsquad@slarc.org.
