Thank you to the Challenge Program at Edgar Murray Elementary for collecting toys and shopping with your donations to fill our Toy Closets with items for children in treatment.🧸

We love to see ! Plus, it may not look like it (our office toy closet is huge!), but our toys dwindle this time of year, and this was perfect timing to help fill the shelves.

⚾💛 We are excited to announce that the beneficiaries of the 2026 Baseball BATtles Cancer Tournament fundraiser will be:

• Friends of Kids With Cancer
• American Cancer Society Hope Lodge - St. Louis*

This event is about so much more than raising money. It’s about coming together as a community to support those who have won the battle, those we’ve lost and those fighting right now. 💛

Each year, Baseball BATtles Cancer is a time to remember, celebrate, support and make a difference through the game we love. ⚾

A huge thank you to all of our sponsors, volunteers, teams and supporters — including our presenting sponsor, Royal Banks of Missouri
— for helping make this event possible.

*A $2,500 portion of the proceeds raised will benefit the Hope Lodge. All additional funds raised will go to Friends of Kids with Cancer.

Sometimes pediatric cancer isn’t visible, and sometimes a patient, sibling, or parent is carrying more than others can see.

That’s why we stand with children facing cancer. From the moment of diagnosis and every step that follows, we’re here not just for the patient, but for the entire family.

Through mental health care, educational support, and moments of everyday joy, we help bring comfort, strength, and hope when it’s needed most. 💛

St. Louis! Today is OUR day to come together for amazing STL nonprofits.
