Thank you to everyone who made the 9^th annual An Evening with the Cardinals a huge success! This year’s featured guests were St. Louis Cardinals Closers Jason Motte, Jason Isringhausen, and Lee Smith. 5 On Your Side’s Frank Cusumano emceed this fantastic evening. Select guests enjoyed a VIP cocktail reception prior to the program with St. Louis Cardinals manager Ollie Marmol, as Frank hosted a Q&A session. Guests enjoyed dinner, drinks, and our silent and live auctions, featuring one-of-a-kind sports memorabilia and other treasured items.

A tradition of this event is featuring a local family supported by our organization, and this year, we brought back Rhyan Loos, neuroblastoma warrior, who was previously featured at the 7^th annual An Evening with the Cardinals. The crowd was so moved to see how much she’s grown as she took the stage to greet everyone.

We are deeply grateful for every sponsor, attendee, and featured guest of the evening, along with the NCCS staff and friends who volunteered to make this a night to remember! Due to COVID-19, we stopped all in-person events for everyone’s safety. Although it’s been three years since our last An Evening with the Cardinals, we were thrilled to hear people were excited to attend this year’s event.

We look forward to hosting this event for years to come, and we hope to see you there!
