In addition to thanking all those who attended to support the May 26th fundraiser, we want to thank the following entities for donating raffle items and other donations:  Tower Grove Heights Neighborhood Association, Sugarfire Smoke House, the St. Louis Cardinals, Stray Dog Theatre, Kitchen House Coffee, STL-Style, Civil Life, Domino's, Shaved Duck, Gustine Market, AB-InBev, Gelateria, Magic Chef Mansion, FlowState, Norah's Knits, and Roosevelt High School Football Team.

In addition and very importantly, we want to thank Riley's Irish Pub at the corner of Arkansas and Arsenal in Tower Grove East, which donated both the space and made a substantial monetary donation.

Proceeds of Sunday's event will support the Roosevelt Football Breakfasts. The RCC provides a hearty breakfast for the players on Saturday home game days to ensure that they have adequate nutrition. The RCC also supports the afterschool and summer program at Roosevelt as well as an annual 4 year college scholarship. This year's football team won the Public High League title and one round in the state playoffs, and is building a better, stronger team.

Thank you for supporting Roosevelt, your neighborhood high school!!!

Here's the tentative game schedule for the fall:

Reminder that our once-a-year fundraiser for the Roosevelt Football Breakfasts is this Saturday, 1-5 pm at Riley's Irish Pub at the SE corner of Arsenal & Arkansas. It turns out that we have a number of very nice raffle items as well as brats, hotdogs, potato salad, fruit, and drinks for purchase. (We miss Bill Gilbert but many of the items have been donated with him in mind.) If you plan to come and help, we will be setting up starting at noon, and will be wrapping up, pulling raffle item winning tickets, and cleaning up starting at about 5 or so. Let us know if you can help if you haven't already let us know. The cell # for questions is 314-241-9994.

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.

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...

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 ...
