Goldy’s Golden Ticket
Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt will host a group from TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors) as part of his Goldy’s Golden Ticket player ticket program. He's providing tickets for eight families to be at the game and will visit with them during batting practice. Since 1994, TAPS has provided comfort and hope 24/7 through a national peer support network and connection to grief resources, all at no cost to surviving families and loved ones.

Massive American flag
You've likely seen it before on Opening Day or the 4th of July, the gigantice American Flag will be help by first responders from the greater St. Louis area during the National Anthem.
The team is continuing to add more ways to honor America and remember those we have lost on the 20th anniversary this weekend. Tickets are still available for the game at Cardinals.com.
