Story Stitchers to be honored for “Pitching In” by the Cardinals and Bally Sports Midwest


This season, the Cardinals and Bally Sports Midwest are recognizing people and places pitching in to make a difference in our community.

Friday night during the pre-game, the Cardinals and Bally Sports Midwest will salute Saint Louis Story Stitchers –  a nationally recognized Artists Collective known for high quality art and innovative youth violence prevention programs.

This year Saint Louis Story Stitchers opened The Center, a 4500 sq. ft space for creative youth development in the Grand Center Arts District. Young people, age 16-24, may join the award-winning podcast program, StitchCast Studio, published on nation-wide podcast platforms. Story Stitchers artists perform music and poetry promoting St. Louis civic pride. Story Stitchers provides young adults with safe spaces to gather, friends that are anti-violence, mentors, and opportunities to speak out and earn money, while participants gain the skills to find productive employment and a healthy adulthood, proactively reducing crime.

Watch Friday to see Story Stitchers’ Senior Audio Producer- BlueBeatz and Teaching Artist in Audio – S. K. Banga, and 4 of the youth leaders – Aaron, Malik, Zack, and Traydon on the field!

Please join the Cardinals and Bally Sports Midwest in celebrating Saint Louis Story Stitchers.
