Georgia Frontiere
Chairman/Owner

St. Louis Rams' chairman and owner, Georgia Frontier, is a pillar in the St. Louis community and beyond. Her philanthropy was punctuated in 1997, when she and Vice Chairman Stan Kroenke created the St. Louis Rams Foundation. Since then, the Rams and Rams Foundation have contributed more than $5 million to charities in the St. Louis region.

Georgia’s dedication to the advancement of youth is underscored by her commitment of $1 million to the Fulfillment Fund, an organization that sponsors more than 2,000 high school students who are selected for having college potential, but whose financial opportunities are limited. She also provides college scholarships through the Rams' Media Guide Cover Art Competition, which she began in 1992. The competition seeks student artists, ranging from kindergarten to age 21, to create the cover design for the Rams annual media guide. The winning design is featured on the cover of the media guide, and the winner receives a $5,000 scholarship for continued education. To date, Georgia has awarded $55,000 in scholarship money to student artists.

Georgia also serves on a variety of boards, including the United Way of Greater St. Louis, St. Louis’ Herbert Hoover Boys and Girls Club, Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America, American Foundation for Aids Research and St. John’s Ambulance Brigade of Great Britain. Additionally, Georgia is on the Executive Committee of the St. Louis Variety Club and plays a principal part in the organization’s annual “Bikes for Kids” program, which provides bicycles for children of low-income families. As part of her efforts with this program, she plays host to 300 children at Rams Park annually, where the youngsters receive their bicycles and an invitation to attend a Rams' game. She has also served as the honorary chairperson for the St. Louis Chapter’s NFL Alumni golf tournament.

Georgia’s civic and charitable accomplishments have been recognized by several organizations including the National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations, who presented her with the prestigious Ellis Island Medal of Honor in 1992. The medal was a reward for her community involvement and “having greatly contributed to our national identity while preserving the distinct values and heritage of her ancestry.”

In 1997, the St. Louis Ambassadors named her “Sportsperson of the Year.” She was also named the “First Lady of Old Newsboy Day in 2000” and in 2001 was inducted into the Newsboys’ Hall of Fame. Also in 2001, the American Heart Association named Georgia one of the recipients of “The Missourian Award”, an award presented to native sons or daughters of Missouri who have made outstanding contributions in business, civic, and the arts.

Under Georgia’s leadership, the rest of the Rams women have also played an integral part in the team’s community outreach efforts by giving generously of their time and resources to many area causes. Community efforts range from a holiday party at the Edward Jones Dome for underprivileged children to an annual “Baby Shower”, which brings together all of the women of the organization to benefit a local children’s charity.
