Our mission is to combine the love of Christ with the fun of professional sports.  Our motto was originally "Baseball with a Purpose" because of our roots in and 19 year relationship with the St. Louis Baseball Cardinals.  As CFD expanded its reach into Christian Family Days with the St. Louis Blues hockey team, the St. Louis Rams football team and Gateway International Racing, our motto had to change as well and is now "Sports with a Purpose". That purpose is sharing the love of Jesus Christ with the world and using any and all professional sports venues to do so.

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 an unforgettable day at our event, 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.
