    Our 32nd Deaf Awareness Day with the Cardinals was an absolute Grand Slam! The excitement kicked off at the pre-game social, where everyone got pumped for the big game. Before the first pitch, we were treated to outstanding ASL performances by Jordan Lange and Leslie Martinez — it was nothing short of perfect! And to top it off, our amazing crowd was featured on the Jumbotron! A huge thank you to the St. Louis Cardinals, our incredible interpreters, and our generous sponsors for making this Deaf Awareness Day unforgettable!

    • ASL Storytime at St. Louis Public Library: Carpenter Branch. Saturday, September 21, 2024 from 10:30am-11:30am CST. White hand shapes spelling out ASL. There is an illustrated open book behind the hand shapes with drawn characters coming off the page. The book looks like a pond, there is two frogs in a surprised body language, watching a girl seated on her knees on top of a lily pad. She's holding a hand out to a rope that is attached to a butterfly and being pulled through the pond. There is a fish sticking its head out, watching the action. Join us for storytimes signed in ASL followed by crafts and social time for children and families.
