And to do that, we need your help.

Donations made to Little League® Baseball and Softball not only allow us to keep the cost of membership affiliation to local communities low but also allow us to provide additional programming support such as grant assistance for equipment, registration fees, field refurbishments, volunteer training programs, assistance after natural disasters, and more.
