Fredbird and Friends Elementary School Program
The Cardinals are committed to spreading the message of teamwork, and one way in which we do so is through the FREE Fredbird & Friends Elementary School Program, presented by Bally Sports Midwest.

The Fredbird & Friends Elementary School Program – currently available as virtual content – is designed to educate and entertain area students in grades K-5 while answering the question, "What makes a good teammate?". Throughout the program, Fredbird and his friends emphasize teamwork through three key messages – Be Active! Be Responsible! and Be Yourself! – while using baseball as a metaphor for being prepared, working together, trying your best, and contributing your talents to reaching a goal.

Thank You!
Thanks to the generosity of our fans, this season Cardinals Care was able to raise over $300,000 through 50/50 Raffles and over $40,000 through Silent Auctions. These programs would not be possible without the support of our awesome volunteers! Big thanks to those who volunteer their time to sell 50/50 tickets and provide information about Silent Auctions at games throughout the season. The funds raised will support the Redbird Rookies program, our Youth Ballfield program, and our Grant program.
