The St. Louis Cardinals and Drury Hotels Company are excited to announce their new partnership for the 2016 season. For each Cardinals victory during the 2016 season, Drury Hotels will donate $1,000 to Cardinals Care. The partnership, which will extend through 2018, is the largest corporate pledge to date received by Cardinals Care.
“We are excited to partner with the Cardinals and proud to support Cardinals Care and the children of the St. Louis community,” said Drury Hotels President and CEO Chuck Drury. “As a part of the St. Louis community for more than 40 years, I can’t think of a better way to give back while cheering for our home team.”
Cardinals Care is involved in a variety of programs backed by Cardinals players, coaches and front office staff, allowing for grants to support organizations in and around St. Louis. Since its inception in 1997, Cardinals Care has distributed more than $21 million to area organizations. Cardinals Care strives to improve the lives of more children every year.
“We are grateful for the generous donation opportunity from Drury Hotels. We feel a program like this will generate tremendous excitement after every Cardinals’ win and deliver a tremendous benefit to the kids of the St. Louis area,” said Cardinals Vice President of Community Relations & Executive Director of Cardinals Care Michael Hall.
