**_Fans Encouraged to Donate New, Unwrapped Toys at Busch Stadium on December 1_**

**ST. LOUIS, Mo., November 16, 2021 **– The St. Louis Cardinals and Cardinals Care
are teaming up with the American Red Cross, KMOV, and Delaware North Sportservice
for the tenth annual Holiday Gift Drive.

Fans can support this gift drive for local children of all ages by dropping off 
new, unwrapped toys or gift cards at Gate 4 of Busch Stadium on Wednesday, December
1^(st) between 7 am and 2pm.   Fans who donate at Busch Stadium will receive hot
chocolate in a thermal mug from Delaware North Sportservice, and a token of appreciation
from the Cardinals, while supplies last.  Fans who are unable to drop off a toy 
can make a tax-deductible donation at [cardinals.com/giftdrive](http://www.cardinals.com/giftdrive)
starting today through December 1^(st).

The toys collected and funds raised will provide holiday gifts to children of military
families at a Breakfast with Santa at Scott Air Force Base.  Donations will also
be distributed to select Cardinals Care partner agencies including the American 
Red Cross, Angels’ Arms, Annie Malone Children & Family Service Center, Marygrove
and SouthSide Early Childhood Center, to provide holiday gifts for the children 
they serve.

“We’re excited to hold our 10^(th) annual holiday gift drive at Busch Stadium,” 
said Michael Hall, Vice President of Community Relations and Executive Director 
of Cardinals Care.  “Many in our community are experiencing challenging times, and
we know we can count on our generous fans to take this opportunity to help bring
some holiday cheer to area children in need.”

**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 24 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
