Eugene “Gene” Toombs III
The Saint Louis Science Center would like to recognize the contributions of Eugene “Gene” Toombs III, who passed away in September. Mr. Toombs was a distinguished community leader who generously dedicated countless hours supporting organizations in the St. Louis region. The Science Center is honored to be included among the nonprofits and philanthropic initiatives to which Mr. Toombs committed his time. For three years, Mr. Toombs served on the Science Center’s Board of Trustees and subsequently became a Commissioner and served as Chairman of the Board of Commissioners in recent years.
Mr. Toombs was a highly respected industry leader and CEO, a dedicated family man and friend, and an individual who graciously gave back to the community in which he lived. The Science Center is humbled by his service in support of our mission. Mr. Toombs championed the importance of science and technology learning and worked closely with the Science Center team to support strategic planning, fundraising events and organizational objectives. We are grateful for the innumerable ways that Mr. Toombs supported the Science Center over these any years, and we wish his family the every best in the years to come.
Thank you to everyone who donated for #GivingTuesday
