(O'Fallon, Missouri) - The Principal Financial Group® and the River City Rascals will honor members of the military and the outstanding contributions they make to our country and communities during the 2014 Principal® Financial Dreams Tour. The Tour will make 18 stops from coast-to-coast and will provide attendees with information to help them plan for a brighter financial future for themselves and their families.

The first 500 fans through the gate on event day will receive a 20 ounce Rascals Souvenir Cup. Since 2004, The Principal® has brought more than 450 events to minor league ballparks, attracting nearly two million fans. Past tours have given fans the chance to meet some of baseball's biggest stars, including Steve Garvey, Dave Stewart, Tommy John, Rollie Fingers and Lee Smith, among others.

Additionally, at the Dreams Tour event, The Principal will make a $1,000 contribution to the Wounded Warrior Project veteran's charity supporting veterans employment programs.

"We're thrilled to support hometown heroes." said Steve Whitty, vice president of corporate marketing at The Principal. "We know these brave men and women are strong pillars of the community, and we're honored to be able to give back to them through The Principal Dreams Tour, since they've already given us so much."

"The River City Rascals are very excited to partner with the Principal Financial Dreams Tour for another season. This is something our fans are looking forward to and we are fortunate to have the tour back at T.R. Hughes Ballpark." - Lisa Fegley, Assistant General Manager of the River City Rascals
