ABOUT THE FOUNDATION:

St. Louis Children’s Hospital brings hope and healing to life throughout the entire patient journey, delivering specialized pediatric care to young patients and their families. Supported by a dedicated foundation and the generosity of its community, the hospital continues to expand its mission and strengthen its impact. Together, these efforts build on a lasting legacy of exceptional care.

DONOR RECOGNITION CHALLENGES:

St. Louis Children’s Hospital needed an immersive, modern donor hall that would recognize and honor its generous supporters. The space also needed to demonstrate the real-world impact of their gifts. At the same time, it needed to uplift the spirits of young patients and create a welcoming, inspiring environment for families and visitors. Dynamic storytelling was essential to bringing these goals together, engaging everyone who walks through the doors and connecting them more deeply with the power of philanthropy.

  • The original donor hall, created in the early 2000s, had become dated and lacked the engagement needed for upcoming fundraising campaigns.
  • The hospital needed a dynamic way to reflect its unique community and connect donors, patients, families, and physicians through shared stories.
  • The existing experience failed to engage families or convey the real-world impact of donor gifts, serving merely as a walk-by list of names.
"From the very initial meetings we had with them, I really felt that they were listening to us and they had heard our feedback and were trying to incorporate those ideas along with bringing us some new ideas as well."

Through collaborative discovery and strategy sessions, BrookGlobal designed an interactive donor hall that seamlessly integrates physical architecture, digital displays, and immersive lighting to transform the space into an uplifting journey.

  • Interactive LED Ceiling Arches
  • Custom Display & Donor Recognition
  • Blended Storytelling
  • Brand-Aligned Architectural Integration

The interactive Hall of Inspiration at St. Louis Children’s Hospital elevates donor stewardship while inspiring philanthropic support. Through an engaging digital recognition experience, it demonstrates how donor generosity supports world-class care. The space also creates an uplifting and welcoming environment for patients, families and visitors. Its design celebrates the strength and resilience of young patients, along with the dedication of healthcare staff. It also reflects the spirit of the vibrant St. Louis community they serve.

THE RESULT:

The reimagined space replaces traditional static lists with a soothing, comforting environment. It brings joy to children and comfort to families during hospital visits. The experience clearly demonstrates the connection between philanthropy and patient care. This new digital donor recognition elevates appreciation for supporters and it also provides a playful distraction for young patients.

"We wanted somebody to be able to tell the story of St. Louis Children's Hospital and the unique community that we are from and the unique patients that we serve. We decided to move forward with BrookGlobal because of the work that we had seen them do at other children's hospital across the United States and Canada."
