COLUMBIA, IL (KTVI-FOX2now.com)—

Two Columbia, Illinois boys are honored for helping to raise money for the Coleman family. Cardinal skipper Tony La Russa sent them autographed jerseys from Albert Pujols and Yadi Molina.

Jeff and Robbie Respaz raised more than $5400. They collected the money a few weeks ago by selling lemonade and taking part in a yard sale. Both boys said they just wanted to do something good for the Coleman family.

But they're also honored to receive the gift from the Cardinal organization. The money will be presented to the family to spend as they choose.
