**About Cardinals Care**

Cardinals Care was established to give fans a way to team up with players and the
organization to help children in our community—both on and off the baseball field.
Established in 1997, Cards Care has invested over $31 million to support St. Louis
area children, built or renovated 24 youth ball fields in local under-resourced 
neighborhoods, and distributed over $17 million in grants to nonprofit organizations.
Since 2004, Cards Care has 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 and 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. In 2023, Cards Care launched the Cardinals Nike Reviving
Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) program in cooperation with Major League Baseball
to expand baseball and softball opportunities for youth and provide a bridge to 
more competitive play for those graduating from the Redbird Rookies program. To 
learn more about all of Cards Care’s programs visit [cardinals.com/community](http://www.cardinals.com/community)
and follow [@CardinalsCare](https://twitter.com/CardinalsCare) on X.
