Cardinals Care Annual Fun Run Home About About Dedicated to Caring for Kids Since 1997 Cardinals Care is the team’s community foundation dedicated to improving the lives of children. Established in 1997, Cardinals Care gives fans a way of teaming up with Cardinals players and the organization to help children in our community – both on and off the baseball field. Since its’ inception, Cardinals Care has invested $23 million back into the St. Louis community through three key initiatives – the Redbird Rookies youth baseball/softball league; building and renovating ball fields in under-resourced areas; and distributing cash grants to local nonprofits who work with children.
