The Garrett C. Reuter, Sr. Foundation was formed in 2017 in memory of Garrett (“Garry”) C. Reuter, Sr., who passed away in 2013 after a battle with prostate cancer.   Garry Sr. was a well-respected attorney and member of the community who devoted much of his time outside of his law practice to civic and charitable endeavors.  It is in Garry Sr.’s memory that the Foundation was formed, in part to help embolden the fight against prostate cancer, and in part to memorialize and perpetuate his dedication and efforts to the community. The Foundation has formed a strong partnership with the Siteman Cancer Center in St. Louis, Missouri, to further its efforts in supporting the research and treatment of prostate cancer.  Since its organization, the Foundation has donated $30,000 to Siteman Cancer Center.
