Our mission is to combine the love of Christ with the fun of major league baseball. Our motto is "Baseball with a Purpose". That purpose is sharing the love of Jesus Christ with the world.

Our emphasis is placed on at-risk children. These are kids who have been abused mentally, physically or sexually by a "so-called" trusted adult, or affected by a parent in prison or a child who is homeless. living in a foster home, or orphanage and many other unfortunate situations. They need the hope only Jesus can offer. CFD's chairman, Judy Boen, says, "We do CFD for the child who has been abused or neglected or does not have any bragging rights. We realize since we are dealing with neglected children, this most likely will be the only meal they will have for the day." CFD wants to give them an experience that changes their lives for eternity. Not only will the kids have lunch, a day at the game, but they will hear how much Jesus loves them. Over 60 various organizations are helped through the tireless efforts of CFD and last year alone 16 states were represented. Wherever the voice of the Cardinals is heard we minister to those states
