**About Cardinals Care**
Cardinals Care was established to give fans a way to team
up with Cardinals players and the organization to help children in our community—
both on and off the baseball field. Established in 1997, Cardinals Care has invested
over $29 million to support St. Louis area children, built or renovated 25 youth
ball fields in local under-resourced neighborhoods, and distributed over $15 million
in grants to nonprofit organizations. Since 2004, Cardinals Care has also orchestrated
the innovative Redbird Rookies program, a free co-ed baseball/softball league for
kids who otherwise might not have the opportunity to play. In addition to providing
all the uniforms, gloves, bats, balls and other equipment needed for each team, 
Redbird Rookies also provides extensive off-field support in the areas of health,
education, mentoring and the cultural arts for each of the nearly 2,500 kids who
participate in the program each year. To learn more about all of Cardinals Care’s
programs visit [cardinals.com/community](http://www.cardinals.com/community) and
follow [@CardinalsCare](http://www.twitter.com/CardinalsCare) on Twitter.
