Following the tragic shooting in Tucson, Ariz., that claimed the life of Little Leaguer Christina Taylor Green, Little League International has received several inquiries from local leagues and districts regarding ways to pay their respects.
 
Canyon Del Oro Little League, Christina’s home league, has created a memorial patch to honor her passing and has made it available for purchase.

All chartered Little Leagues have the option of purchasing this commemorative patch and permission from Little League International to place the patch on regular season Little League uniforms. As a reminder to all leagues, wearing of the commenative patch must not take the place of the official Little League patch that is to be affixed on the left sleeve of all Little League uniforms.
 
To order, log on to: www.cdobaseball.com. Accepted forms of payment are PayPal and personal check. Leagues wishing to pay by personal check must purchase a minimum of 50 patches per order.

Please direct any questions regarding patch purchases to Caroline Auza, at: Auza1@comcast.net; or call 520-241-7174.

One dollar from each patch sold will benefit the Christina Taylor Green Memorial Fund that has been established up by her father, John. The cost of each patch is $3.92.
