The St. Louis Cardinals have announced the schedule for their 2017 Cardinals Caravan, which will have six different branches to reach 21 cities in four days later this month.
As in previous years, the Cardinals Caravan will have an autograph ticket system at each stop. The first 400 kids, ages 15 and under, through the door on the day of the event will receive a free autograph ticket which guarantees one autograph from each current and former player. Due to high demand, autographs will only be available for fans 15 and under.

New for the 2017 Cardinals Caravan, the team and Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance are teaming to fight local hunger. At select Caravan stops, fans can bring a nonperishable food donation to help those in need through Feeding Missouri’s fine partners. Donations will be collected at all eight Missouri stops, in addition to the Quincy, Ill. and Dyersburg, Tenn. stops.
The full schedule for the 2017 Cardinals Caravan (#CardsCaravan), can be found at cardinals.com/caravan.
