"What Kyle and Bridget have achieved in a short period of time is remarkable.

Brace For IMPACT 46 was founded by former MLB St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Kyle McClellan and his wife Bridget after a life-changing trip to Haiti. The organization's name reflects this journey of discovery, incorporating McClellan's jersey number, 46, to symbolize the personal connection and commitment to their cause.
Inspired by their experiences, the organization partners with local communities in Haiti and St. Louis to provide sustainable support and opportunities for children and families in need. Through these efforts, Brace For Impact 46 strives to strengthen the well-being of children and adults alike, regardless of their circumstances or race, religion, or gender, by providing them with the tools and opportunities to lead fulfilling, healthy lives. Through their work with the IDADEE Children’s Home and local youth programs, Brace For Impact 46 aims to positively impact lives and build a stronger future, embodying the belief that giving back enriches both the giver and the recipient, and together, we can all make an IMPACT.
