Roosevelt Community Council, St. Louis, MO

The Roosevelt Community Council has been providing a catered breakfast for the Roosevelt High School football team before its Saturday games for a number of years. We call them the “Roosevelt Football Breakfasts.” This event at Riley’s Pub, the afternoon of August 23, 2025, raises the funds to provide the breakfasts. We would love to have lots of alumni come out for this event!! For more information, go to our website and “Contact Us”:  https://rooseveltcommunitycouncil.blogspot.com/ First game of the season: Friday, August 29, 2025 4:30pm at Confluence Prep (rescheduled from Saturday, August 30, 2025); go to the website of the Missouri State High School Athletic Association to confirm Roosevelt’s game schedule. We expect the district’s “clear bag” policy to be in effect. The process for purchasing tickets should be available from the school district soon. 

Roosevelt's game schedule has changed, with the first game moved from Saturday, August 30 to Friday, August 29th. Here's the latest from the MSHSAA website:

 Here's why we do the fundraiser every year:    2015 post

We received an update from the Athletic Director at Roosevelt re a change in the Sept. 20th Homecoming football game:  Due to tornado damage from the May 16th tornado, there has been a change in Roosevelt's Homecoming Game on September 20, 2025. The team will play St. Pius X High School (Festus) instead of Soldan High School.  The reason for this is that S oldan's students are moving to GatewaySTEM to attend classes this fall and their athletes will be participating with Gateway's students. Sumner's students will be attending classes at Miller Career Academy and participating in sports with them as well. This left us without an opponent for our celebration. I put out an all-points-bulletin to the area athletic director's for a "hail mary" in an effort to find an opponent to fill the opening in our schedule. I am happy to announce that St. Pius X (Festus) will be our opponent for our game on 9/20. Here's the updated game schedule: 

  The Roosevelt Community Council will meet at the Five Star Senior Center on Tuesday, July 1, 2025 (first Tuesday), at 3:30pm. Five Star is located at 2832 Arsenal St., and there is parking across the street to the north on the Kutis lot. We are working on plans for our once-a-year fundraiser on Saturday, August 23, noon to 5, at Riley's Pub, Arsenal & Arkansas. We need both volunteers and raffle items such as restaurant gift certificates. "Contact Us" to help. 

Roosevelt's 2025 Game schedule per the Missouri State High School Athletic Association - Homecoming is September 20, 2025:

The RCC will meet at the Five Star Senior Center, 2832 Arsenal St., on Tuesday, June 3, 2025 (first Tuesday), at 3:30 pm.   There is parking immediately across the street to the north, on the Kutis lot. We thank Five Star for allow us to use their board room for our meeting. Our July 1st and August 5th RCC meetings will also be at Five Star.  Please put our Football Breakfast Fundraiser on your calendar for Saturday, August 23, noon to 5, at Riley's Pub at the corner of Arsenal and Arkansas.  We need help that day for set up, grilling, sales and with raffle items, so if you can spare an hour or a few to assist, that would be most appreciated. We also need raffle items, gift cards and the like (Bill Gilbert, our biggest fundraiser/organizer is no longer with us). We can provide an official charitable donation acknowledgement letter if needed. Finally, our new caterer for the Football Breakfasts will handle things a little bit differently, and we are going to need a few vol...
