Football Breakfasts Update

By Norah
We had our 5th Football Breakfast on Saturday, Oct. 4, 2014. The last one will be on Saturday, October 18, 2014.

Student cadets from the Roosevelt High School Marine Corps Junior ROTC have volunteered at three of the breakfasts.

Adult volunteers from the Young Life program (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Young-Life-St-Louis-City/50992473679  ) volunteered at another breakfast.

The RCC itself provided the volunteers for the first breakfast in August.

The August Gate Church, located here in Tower Grove East, will provide the volunteers for the last breakfast on October 18, 2014.  http://www.augustgate.com/

A big Thank You to all of the volunteers - the breakfasts could not happen without them !!

Update on 2025 Roosevelt High School Football Breakfasts from the Roosevelt Community Council

By
Roosevelt High School’s 2025 11-Man Football season was cancelled mid-way through the season after the team’s Homecoming game on September 20, 2025. That game was rained out at half time, due to a thunder storm. As reported by the school’s Athletic Director, the team had suffered some prior injuries and also the loss of some upper class team members, and the school felt that it was unsafe to continue the season with the remaining team members, many of whom were younger and smaller players.  The Roosevelt Community Council raised funds in 2025 to provide breakfast to the team before its Saturday games. Usually, this involves feeding 40 to 50 team members and a few coaches for each breakfast. Sometimes, members of the cheerleading team are also present and invited to have breakfast as well.  This is an activity we have supported for a number of years, and it has also been supported by several nearby neighborhood associations and a number of businesses, as well as the public, at ...

First Football Breakfast of 2015

By Norah
"Football Breakfasts" means providing breakfast for the Roosevelt High School football team before its Saturday home JV and Varsity games. About 85% of the students at Roosevelt are eligible for the school's free or reduced price meal program during the school week, but there are no such meals on Saturdays. The RCC began supporting the breakfasts about 8 years ago , when Mr. Terry Houston, then principal, asked us to provide volunteers for the breakfasts. The breakfasts were his idea: they are a way to both support the team and connect the community to the school. The volunteers help set up, help serve, and clean up after the breakfasts. Currently, the RCC raises the funds for the breakfasts, hires the caterer to provide the food, and recruits the volunteers. We held a fundraiser in May at Riley's Irish Pub in Tower Grove East to raise funds for the breakfasts. The balance of the funds comes from donations. The caterer is Euylan Welch of WelchOne Catering. We al...
