Springfield MO - The Springfield Cardinals are proud to partner with the Community Foundation of the Ozarks to launch the first-ever Cardinals Fly Together Fund, a new grant program in the Ozarks.

The Cardinals Fly Together Fund is designed to spearhead the Springfield Cardinals community support initiatives through various programs that will be available to 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations, schools, churches and communities throughout southwest Missouri.

"We have long prided ourselves in being a community pillar for the greater Springfield area and we can't wait for the Cardinals Fly Together Fund to make an even bigger impact through this partnership," said Springfield Cardinals Vice President / General Manager Dan Reiter. "We are thankful to Winter Kinne and the team at Community Foundation of the Ozarks for helping us make our previous community support initiatives even bigger and better."

"Our mission is to enhance the quality of life in our region, and that would not be possible without great partnerships," said Winter Kinne, president and CEO of the Community Foundation of the Ozarks. "We are thrilled to team up with the Springfield Cardinals to help them achieve their philanthropic goals."

The flagship opportunity through the Cardinals Fly Together Fund is designed toprovide matching grants to area schools to give students the opportunity to attend a Springfield Cardinals home game. Educational Day Game Field Trips are an excellent opportunity to incorporate learning through various pre-game educational topics with the experience of attending a live sporting event. Schools can find more details and apply for a matching grant at cfozarks.org/flytogether. The first round of grant applications are due by Thursday, Feb. 15.

Other initiatives will be announced throughout the year. For anyone or any organizations interested in supporting the Fly Together Fund and help extend additional grant opportunities, secure online donations can be made at cfozarks.org/cardinals.
