ST. LOUIS, Mo., September 12, 2024 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that Cardinals Care, the team’s community foundation, has distributed over $233,000 in grant money to 72 area nonprofit groups that support local kids as part of the organization’s summer grant cycle. The grants will be used to fund tangible items, one-time capital expenses and special supplies or purchases that directly benefit children.
