St. Louis, MO (Oct. 8, 2011) – Rally Squirrel announced today that he would like his recent fame and notoriety to stand for something and kids are naturally his first choice. The Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation is honored that Rally has chosen his favorite charity, SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center, to be his official charity of choice as the St. Louis Cardinals head into the MLB National League Championship playoffs.

According to his agent, Rally Squirrel says, “I’m just nuts about the life-saving work of SSM Cardinal Glennon. I know many of my fans have been touched by the work of this world class medical center, and I don’t want to squirrel hole all this fame. I want my fame to stand for something positive and my goal is to help create Cardinal victories while helping Cardinal Glennon kids.”

One of those Cardinal Glennon kids is Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivor and Glennon Ambassador Lauren Lee. Lauren’s life was saved at SSM Cardinal Glennon and because of her bravery in battling her disease she has been selected as Rally’s charity spokesperson. Lauren & Rally Squirrel will hold a press conference Monday, October 10, 9:30am in Kiener Plaza. Together, they will announce their charitable intentions which include selling collector items such as Rally Squirrel playing cards, T-shirts and hats complete with squirrel tail. All proceeds will benefit the kids at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center.
