Thanks - Fundraiser & Preview of Fall 2019 Football Game Schedule

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:
