ST. LOUIS, August 26, 2020 – The St. Louis Cardinals today announced the launch of the Coaches Who Care contest. The Cardinals, in partnership with Nike, created the Coaches Who Care contest to thank and celebrate deserving coaches for the positive impact they have on the lives of those they coach in youth softball and baseball.

The pandemic has changed the way that communities come together,” said Michael Hall, Vice President of Community Relations and Executive Director of Cardinals Care. “Sports practices and games have been cancelled, but coaches have stepped-up and shifted their normal routines to continue to provide opportunity for the children they coach. We’re thrilled to partner with Nike to recognize the youth baseball and softball coaches who go above and beyond.”

Fans can nominate a coach who has had a positive impact through sportsmanship, leadership and/or character building by visiting cardinals.com/coacheswhocare.

Nominations will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. CT on Sunday, September 13, 2020 and should be no more than 500 words. Winners will be selected and contacted by Friday, September 25, 2020. Winners will receive a goody bag and the opportunity to take part in a special zoom congratulatory Meet and Greet with a Cardinals alumnus.
