Year over year, local leagues continue to experience devastating effects from natural disasters, but as communities begin the long road to recovery, Little League is committed to ensuring that baseball and softball fields — and the equipment kids need — are ready when they are. Little League Baseball and Softball fields are more than places to play. They are places where communities heal and often become the first sense of normalcy for families after a disaster by offering a place to gather. To support these efforts as part of its overall philanthropic support launched in 2024, the Little League Disaster Relief Fund was established in 2025 to provide assistance to local communities during times of greatest need.
MLB Winter Meetings Charity Auction Support
For the 12th, year Major League Baseball and its Clubs have organized a charity auction during baseball’s annual Winter Meetings to benefit a special cause close to the game. The auction this year has made the decision to work with long-time partner Little League and its newest initiative, the Little League Disaster Relief Fund. Proceeds from the auction will be directed to the fund to help leagues impacted by disaster receive the support they need to rebuild, recover and continue providing children with the life lessons learned through youth baseball and softball.
