If you're like me, you're anxiously awaiting and counting down the days until the Olympic games begin. In preparation for 8/8/08, several members of the Standing team will be entering a little competition of our own. No, we won't be traveling to Beijing, but rather Fenton, Mo. Nonetheless, our Standing team, a.k.a. the KickStands, will be suiting up and charging the kickball field (and crossing our fingers to not break any bones!) in hopes to bring home the gold.
As part of our commitment to the St. Louis community, we will be supporting one of our community partners, Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition (FACC), by participating in its Second Annual Kickball Tournament. All proceeds of the tourney will help raise money to find forever-loving homes for foster children in the St. Louis metropolitan community. If you'd like to donate to this worthy cause, send your donation to FACC, 111 N. 7th St., Suite 402, St. Louis, MO 63101.
If you're looking for a good laugh and fun entertainment, stop by Fenton Park, 1215 Larkin Williams Road, anytime between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday.
Wish us luck!

What an awesome day supporting our community partner! I can’t remember having that much fun since…I don’t know…elementary school. Regardless of what the brackets showed, I saw some serious talent on the field this weekend, and now can’t help but wonder: Should Standing consider pulling together a kickball team?
