The city of St. Louis is partnering with the American Red Cross, St. Louis Rams Quarterback Sam Bradford, and Switch Contemporary to help Oklahoma City in a disaster relief effort they are calling #STL4OKC.
Its focus is on raising funds and collecting donations for victims of Monday's tornado in Oklahoma City. The initiative kicked off with a launch Wednesday May 22, 2013 afternoon at Busch Stadium.
Bradford, an Oklahoma native, expressed deep gratitude on behalf of his home state:
"It means so much to me that St. Louis would be willing to come to the aide of Oklahoma City. Whatever we can send to Oklahoma City will help. I mean, there are people with nothing."
While Bradford's family was spared from the damage of this tornado, he said that they were a way of life growing up. "You always know that when one comes through it very well could hit your neighborhood," he said.
"And if that ever does happen, I pray that there are people out there willing to come in and help, just like I know the people of St. Louis are going to come and help out."
Those interested can search the hashtag #STL4OKC for more information or text the work REDCROSS to 90999 to donate.
