 | | 2026 Cardinals Blood Drive | | Thanks to fans and donors, the 23rd annual St. Louis Cardinals Blood Drive in partnership with the American Red Cross was a great success! Over 1,155 units of blood were collected exceeding the drive’s goal. The drive comes at a critical time of year when donations are low, and each unit collected has the potential to save more than one life. Thanks to all who helped make the event a success! |  | | Joe Torre Safe at Home | | While Hall of Famer Joe Torre is best known for his baseball career, his most important work began in 2002 when he and his wife, Ali, founded Safe At Home. Inspired by Joe's own experiences growing up in an abusive household, the organization's mission is to help end the cycle of domestic violence through education. On June 15, Joe and his daughter Andrea joined the YWCA at Busch Stadium to raise awareness and encourage those affected by abuse to seek help. |  | | |  | | Make-A-Wish Granted | | On Monday, June 15th, the Cardinals hosted 19-year-old Charlie, through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, to grant his wish of meeting the team. From a game of catch in the bullpen and a ceremonial pitch on the mound, to a personal clubhouse tour with Andre Pallante where Charlie received a custom jersey and team-signed bat at his very own locker, the day was a perfect celebration for beating cancer. Inspired by his own health journey and love of baseball, Charlie now aspires to be an athletic trainer. The Cardinals are proud to assist in making wishes like Charlie’s come true! | | | |  | | Venezuela Relief Efforts | | On June 24, two devastating earthquakes struck Venezuela, the home country of Cardinals catcher Pedro Pagés and bullpen catcher Kleininger Teran. Our hearts are with Pedro, KT and everyone whose lives have been affected by this tragedy.
