Huge shoutout to Caleres for showing up "big time" for the 2025 Community Campaign! 👟❤️

Community in action! We are incredibly grateful to St. Louis Battlehawks players Demone Harris and A.J. Thomas, as well as some dedicated volunteers, for investing their time at Cornerstone Center for Early Learning.

As a United Way of Greater Saint Louis-funded agency, partnerships like this allow us to thrive. The team assisted with outdoor classroom activities, connected with the children, and wrapped up the day by setting up the venue for graduation.

Thank you for uniting with us to make a lasting impact for St. Louis families. 🤝🏈
