A lot has changed since we first introduced you to our Homers for Health Co-Chair, Cardinal Glennon patient Kennedy - and while we may not know the outcome of this year’s baseball season, or how many home runs will be hit, what we do know is that our patients and families at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital need us right now more than ever before.

With many of our families now experiencing new hardships, we are seeing more families who are unable to pay for care. We will stay true to our promise that no family will ever be turned away due to their inability to pay.

Your generosity plays a critical role in helping the sick and injured children who need us! With the uncertainty of how many games will be played this season, Kennedy suggested we choose a special number of home runs to base pledges on for this season - 195. Why 195? Because that is the number of beds in our hospital and your pledge this year will represent so much more than just baseball.
