Tim M. Murch, Chairman of the Buddy Fund, a St. Louis-based charity that provides sports equipment to underserved at-risk youth, announced Kate Labbe has joined the Board of Operations.
As a fractional marketing manager for several of Compass Group’s portfolio companies, I help them build strong marketing foundations and prepare for growth. I see a similar opportunity with The Buddy Fund, where my strategic thinking and hands-on experience can help scale its community impact. Additionally, over the past several years, I’ve cultivated a diverse network in St. Louis that I believe would be a valuable asset in supporting The Buddy Fund’s growth.
“I believe effective boards are built on strong collaboration” stated Kate. Diverse perspectives are key to better decision-making, and a shared commitment to the organization’s goals is essential. Ultimately, it’s the blend of passion and a team-oriented approach that drives real success.
The Buddy Fund is a charity helping St. Louis area children without regard to race, ethnicity or religion. It was founded in 1962 by St. Louis Sportscaster Buddy Blattner to supply new sports equipment to other charities and organizations that used sports to help redirect and change the lives of at-risk underserved youth, including boys and girls clubs, police athletic leagues, homes for kids, community centers and after school programs.
