Rush Soccer Club Sponsorship


We are extremely pleased to announce that Rush Soccer Clubs is an Official Sponsor of Study 2 Play

St. Louis Cardinals Fundraising Opportunity

The St. Louis Cardinals have been kind enough to offer us the opportunity to Fundraise through group tickets sales. I need to gauge interest in the STL area before I agree to the event. We would need to sell a minimum of 75 tickets at $30 for a home game of our choice.

If you know of a group, school, business, or organization that might be interested in splitting the fundraising efforts, we would love to talk to them. Thanks everyone and see you at the game.

PS.
If we sell 300 tickets we get a pre-game on field tour (which we'll auction to raise funds)
If we sell 500 tickets we get an honorary first pitch (which we'll auction to raise funds)
