St. Clair Butterfly Foundation Beyond Trauma-Informed™: protection, regulation, and connection drive lasting change. Founded in 2007 by Chip and Lisa St. St.

Clair, and based on his bestselling memoir The Butterfly Garden: Surviving Childhood on the Run with One of America's Most Wanted (HCI, 2008), the St. Clair Butterfly Foundation (SCBF) provides free programs to children and teens facing adversity in underprivileged schools and facilities throughout Michigan and Florida. By utilizing mindfulness and the power of expressive arts, SCBF provides skilled instruction and life skills that help inspire at-risk youth and families to rise beyond their circumstances. SCBF programs have been incorporated into the curriculum of public schools and universities, and served as rehabilitation efforts in juvenile detention facilities -- with auxiliary programs in Florida, Oregon, Oklahoma, New York, and Connecticut -- thanks to the generosity of our volunteers and Butterfly Warriors. To date, SCBF has serviced over 15,000 children, teens, and adults. Clair Butterfly Foundation relies solely on community support and does not receive government grants.

What a wonderful evening at the Cherry Bowl Drive-In’s Trunk or Treat this past Saturday! 🎃

Our SCBF team members, Kasie and Ali, with the help of Undersheriff Greg, put together a Dolly Parton-themed trunk to celebrate someone who truly held the values of connection and empathy close to her heart! 🩵🩷

With 980 guests in attendance, our team had a great time passing out treats, connecting with families, and seeing so many familiar faces!

We’re grateful to be part of a community that continues to bring people together through events like this. A special thank you to the Cherry Bowl Drive-In and everyone who helped make the evening possible!

It’s been a busy season at SCBF, and there’s so much more ahead! Stay connected for upcoming events, foundation updates, and more opportunities to get involved. 🦋
