Foundation Supports the DSA's Walk in the Park

9.3.06

"What a great day for a ball game!" said Pujols Family Foundation Director Todd Perry. Not only for a ball game, but for the Greater St. Louis Down Syndrome Association's Annual Walk in the Park. Over 4,000 participants came out to support the cause on the corner of Broadway and Poplar Street, directly across from Busch Stadium.

The Pujols Family Foundation hosted a booth filled with free goodies for all the kids. "We gave out hats, key chains, mini-bats, stickers and cards all day long," said Perry. "It was great seeing all of our friends in one location today."

Once the game started, Albert Pujols saluted all the walkers in attendance by hitting 3 home runs, in 3 consecutive at bats. "It was Albert's best game of the year," said one mom, "and I know it was because all of his friends were here today."
