So how will this benefits HSD athletics? According to at Hazelwood West, the partnership with the Rams is mutually beneficial to each high school.
“One of the benefits is being able to buy equipment or do things that need to be done but we don’t have the money for it in the budget," he said in a statement. "The money raised can be helpful to all teams in our high schools."
Matt Honerkamp, a St. Louis Rams group sales executive, said there's a lot of excitement about the partnership.
“Community involvement is important to the Rams," he said. "Not only do we get to work with Hazelwood, it allows us to introduce ourselves to the community.
"Our school initiatives and fundraisers have been very successful because it’s a win-win for the school district and the Rams."
