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.

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.
