"The Sandlot" Headlines TASK Field Dedication #CardsCare #STLSandLot


CARDINALS CARE, FOX SPORTS MIDWEST & FOX HOME ENTERTAINMENT DEDICATE BALLFIELD FOR DISABLED CHILDREN

ST. LOUIS, MO (June 12, 2013) – Cardinals Care, FOX Sports Midwest and 20th Century FOX Home Entertainment will dedicate a ball field for disabled children tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.(Thursday, June 13th) in Fenton, Missouri that was made possible by a $50,000 investment made in conjunction with the 20th anniversary of the popular film “The Sandlot”.

The new, state of the art baseball field for disabled children will be run by Team Activities for Special Kids (TASK), a local non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children with special needs by providing them with athletic and social opportunities. TASK’s mission is to build self-esteem and self-confidence in kids with special needs.

Aware of the strong baseball tradition in St. Louis, FOX Home Entertainment worked with FOX Sports Midwest and Cardinals Care to find an opportunity to celebrate the 20th anniversary of “The Sandlot” by donating funds to renovate a local sandlot. FOX Home Entertainment established the Sandlot Baseball Field Program to coordinate baseball field renovations across the U.S. so that fans and baseball lovers will be able to enjoy their own “Sandlot” field. FOX Sports Midwest celebrities will participate as celebrity bench coaches during the inaugural game on the field that will be playedtomorrow at 10:30 a.m., following the field dedication.

This is the 21st youth ball field that Cardinals Care has dedicated. Cardinals Care was established to give fans a way of teaming up with Cardinals players and the Cardinals organization to help children in our community – both on and off the baseball field. Since it was incorporated in 1997, Cardinals Care has invested $19 million in helping children, including providing nearly $11 million in grants to over 800 non-profit youth organizations, and building 20 youth ball fields in neighborhoods in both Missouri and Illinois.

WHO: David Mickey Evans (Director of the “The Sandlot”), Patrick Renna (“Ham” from “The Sandlot”); Michael Hall, Vice President of the Community Relations for the Cardinals & Executive Director of Cardinals Care; Jack Donovan, General Manager and Senior Vice President of Fox Sports Midwest; Honorable Michael D. Polizzi, Mayor of Fenton; Paul Berra, President of the Board of TASK; Deb Fruend, Founder & Executive Director of TASK

WHAT: The formal dedication of TASK The Sandlot Field

Congratulations to Kellie W .,  as she was selected as the winner of the giveaway for the  New Trent iCarrier Heavy Duty Dual Port Charger! It is that time again! Conference season, is here and I know many Bloggers are heading to conferences to network, connect with brands, and to see those that they correspond with on Social Media! I was amazed and overwhelmed at the amount of "stuff," one can drag with them to a conference. As I packed my bag for a local two day conference,  I could not help but count the number of gadgets and cords that I would be hauling with me.  It wasn't until lunch time, that I gave any thought to the fact that there weren't any outlets available to charge all of my devices that I used throughout the day to connect to Social Media! As I looked around there were hundreds of bloggers and business people, all with the same concern. How on earth would I save my dying Smart Phone? I looked at the wall behind me and there was a line of d
