Make a Difference Through Your Support
For over five decades, Glendale Little League has been dedicated to providing organized youth baseball to children ages 4-14 from Glendale, River Hills, Bayside, and Fox Point. As registration fees cover only a portion of our operating costs, we rely on the generosity of individuals, families, and businesses to help us maintain and improve our programs.
Your donation directly impacts the quality of the baseball experience we provide, helping us:
- Maintain and improve our four fields and related facilities
- Purchase equipment including balls, bats, helmets, and catcher's gear
- Provide financial assistance to families who cannot afford registration fees
- Fund umpire training and certification programs
- Support coach development through training and educational resources
- Host community events like our annual Family Fun Day celebration
As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 39-1765431), your contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
The Impact of Your Donation
Field Maintenance & Improvements
Our league maintains four baseball diamonds that require regular maintenance and occasional upgrades. Recent improvements funded by donations include new dugouts, batting cages, and field drainage systems that have allowed us to reduce rainouts and provide a safer playing surface.
Equipment
We provide essential team equipment for all divisions, from Tee Ball through Juniors. Your donations help purchase new balls, catcher's gear, batting tees, pitching machines, and other training aids that enhance the player experience and ensure safety.
Financial Assistance Program
We believe every child should have the opportunity to play baseball regardless of financial circumstances. Our scholarship program, funded entirely through donations, ensures that no child is turned away due to inability to pay registration fees. Last season, we provided assistance to over 30 families.
Capital Improvement Projects
We are looking for sponsors and donors who are interested in supporting our larger projects:
- Installing Turf on All Fields: Transitioning to artificial turf will expand program capacity and minimize weather-related cancellations.
- Upgrading to Energy-Efficient LED Field Lighting: Advanced LED lighting systems will improve visibility and reduce energy consumption.
- Integrating Solar Energy Solutions: Harnessing solar power will reduce our carbon footprint and promote renewable energy use.
- Enhancing High-Speed Wi-Fi Access: Robust internet connectivity will enrich experiences for participants and spectators.
- Modernizing the Concessions Area and Equipment: Upgraded facilities will improve service efficiency and visitor satisfaction.
- Repairing and Expanding Batting Cage Facilities: Revitalized batting cages will provide superior training environments.
- Updating Scoreboard Technology: State-of-the-art scoreboards will enhance spectator engagement.
