Cardinal fans can meet and get autographs from more than 60 of their favorite Cardinal
players and coaches at the annual Cardinals Care Winter Warm-Up.
All proceeds from the Winter Warm-Up benefit Cardinals Care, the team's community foundation supporting kids. Thanks to the generous donations of fans, players, staff and sponsors, Cardinals Care has distributed more than $18 million to area organizations since its inception in 1997. Part of the proceeds support Redbird Rookies, a free youth baseball development league for kids who otherwise may not have the opportunity to play. Cardinals Care builds ballparks and provides all of the equipment and off-field support to ensure that participants reach their goals. The Winter Warm-Up is the largest of several fundraising efforts that supply grants to nonprofit agencies in the St. Louis area that help kids in health, education, mentoring and the arts.
See the schedule for autographs and buy autograph tickets here.
Winter Warm-Up will be held January 14-15 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Jan. 16 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency St. Louis at the Arch. Admission passes are $40 for ages 16 and up, $10 for kids ages 5-15 and free for children under 5.
