After hosting a three-day Winter Warm-Up for several years, Cardinals Care carefully evaluated fan attendance and feedback to create a more focused and impactful experience. “Over the past few years, we’ve seen Monday attendance gradually decline,” said ** Michael Hall**, Vice President of Community Relations and Executive Director of Cardinals Care. “After evaluating the event’s schedule and fan feedback, we’re confident that a two-day format allows us to deliver the same great experiences without sacrificing any of the content that makes Winter Warm-Up so special. By concentrating all of our energy into Saturday and Sunday, we can maximize our fundraising impact and continue helping as many kids in our community as possible.” All proceeds from the Winter Warm-Up benefit **Cardinals Care**, supporting programs like **Redbird Rookies**, **Cardinals Nike RBI**, youth ballfield renovations, and grants for nonprofit organizations serving kids.  Fans can visit [cardinals.com/wwu](https://www.cardinals.com/wwu) for the latest information.
