Keith Alper, one of the major forces behind Jewish Federation's community LightFest event, is making news again.  Columnist Deb Peterson profiled the businessman, mover/shaker and philanthropist for her "Close-Up" series in the Community Section of the Sunday, February 7th edition of the Post-Dispatch.  Alper is CEO and executive producer of Creative Producers Group and Companies.

Alper is also a  member of the Jewish Federation Board of Trustees and chairs the jewishinstlouis.org Website Advisory Committee. 

The December 6, 2009 LightFest event attracted more than 3,000 volunteers and participants - all of whom gathered to give back to the community and donate food, clothing, toys and money to help those who are struggling through these harsh economic times.
