Chris Roycroft Turns Birthday Into a Gift for Others.Yen

July 1, 2025 by mrs a

Chris Roycroft’s 28th birthday just passed — but instead of celebrating with balloons, cake or personal gifts, Roycroft made a quiet choice that now resonates far beyond the clubhouse walls.

Chris Roycroft shares wild journey to Cardinals

The right-hander, still cementing his place on the major league stage, chose to donate every birthday gift he received — from gift bags to donations — to support children and families in need across underserved communities in St. Louis.

“I’ve had the privilege of pursuing my dream,” Roycroft said softly. “I didn’t want today to be about me. I wanted today to be about hope — about giving back something that could last longer than a day.”

Roycroft’s birthday initiative saw hundreds of dollars in school supplies, clothing, food, and sporting goods delivered to local shelters and youth programs. Even more meaningful, he personally visited several locations, talking to the kids, handing out the items, and reminding them — through his presence and words — that they mattered.

Bigger Than Baseball
Known for his focus on the mound and his humility in the clubhouse, Roycroft’s acts of generosity reminded everyone that being a professional athlete isn’t just about performance — it’s about purpose. In a sport defined by numbers, his kindness was priceless.

While Cardinals fans have come to appreciate Roycroft’s growing contributions in the bullpen, today they are celebrating a different kind of victory—one that stems not from strikeouts, but from compassion, grace, and heart.

Social media quickly lit up with birthday wishes and admiration from fans. One message read: “Happy Birthday, Chris. You may be a rookie in the majors, but you are already a star in life.”

Instead of candles, there was hope. Instead of cheers from the crowd, there were smiles from kids who rarely received presents. For Roycroft, it was the celebration he wanted.

As the season continues and the Cardinals pursue their postseason dreams, one thing is certain: Chris Roycroft is pitching with purpose—and the world off the field is better for it.
