This past Sunday, StLDA had a blast at The Salvation Army Tree of Lights Campaign kick-off. This year the Rams theme couldn’t have been more fitting as we all braved the rain and the chill on our way to the Edward Jones Dome to "kick-off" the campaign as the Rams "kicked-off" their home game against the Seattle Seahawks.
As we tailgated at the Convention Center, we had the opportunity to catch up with some of our old friends from The Salvation Army. There was a celebrity appearance with Rampage the St. Louis Rams mascot who was all decked out in military gear (it just happened to be military appreciation day at the Dome). The Rams cheerleaders also made an appearance and Roman agreed to get his photo taken with them!
The program also included updates about some of the amazing things that The Salvation Army has done in the past year. We learned about their after-school programs, successful food bank, and the extensive relief they provided in Joplin, Missouri after the devastating tornado in May. That doesn't even scratch the surface of all of the things going on throughout their organization.
Unfortunately, the Rams were unable to pull off a win...that would have really been a exciting way to kick-off the Tree of Light’s campaign!
We here at StLDA pray that 2011 Tree of Lights Campaign is the best one yet!
