On Monday, January 12th, Fort Des Moines Little League faced a devastating setback when a fire destroyed our concession stand, equipment room, board room coaches room and office, taking with it all of our baseball equipment and supplies. This loss has deeply impacted our players, families, and the entire south side Des Moines community that has supported us for generations. For 70 years, Fort Des Moines Little League has been a cornerstone for local families, providing a safe and welcoming place for children to learn, grow, and play the game they love.

Your support will help us recover from this tragedy and ensure that Fort Des Moines Little League can continue to serve the next generation of players.
