Art from the Heart

Each year, more than 10,000 kids in the U.S. are diagnosed with cancer, making it the leading cause of death among children ages 0-14.

The impact of the disease can be extremely devastating, and the Mungenast Automotive Family wants to help.

For the first time ever, Mungenast Lexus of St. Louis will host the second annual Art From the Heart event to benefit Friends of Kids with Cancer, a local charity devoted to enriching the lives of children with cancer and blood related illnesses.

Every piece of artwork is professionally framed and will be available to purchase that night through a silent auction.
