UALL Restoration
Donation protected
Upland American Little League Baseball is a non-profit organization run solely by dedicated volunteers. We've been providing a safe place for the youth of our community to play baseball, meet new friends, and build self-confidence and self-esteem. Baseball has developed a tradition of service to young people, teaching them to play by the rules, so they will learn to live by the rules. UALL started our first season in 1951 and proudly serves nearly 300 boys and girls each year.
In early July 2016, our main building (that houses our snack bar, kitchen, and office) was broken into and vandalized. A number of league valuables, many of which were recent purchases, were stolen or damaged beyond repair. Even more importantly, the innocence of our organization's mission was damaged, and the hard work of many of our volunteers was erased. It became clear we needed to make some changes in order to continue providing a safe place for the kids of our community to play baseball.
To properly move forward, our snack bar and facilities need numerous upgrades and repairs. Items lost to theft need replacement, and we need to improve the security of our facility to prevent this from happening again. To deliver on these needs appropriately, we desperately need to raise funds to keep our league financially sound and positioned for long term stability and success. Our snack bar is a critical element to our financial stability. Failure to properly raise the money needed for these repairs could lead to increases in league registration fees or additional fundraising requirements, passing the impact of this incident directly to our families and their children. These types of changes are the last thing we want.
Please consider donating to Upland American Little League so we can continue our mission. Any amount is extremely appreciated and will go directly to facility improvements and allow us to create the very best experience for our children and their families.
Thank you,
The Board of Upland American Little League
