Late Christmas evening, Western Duluth Little League suffered a devastating structure fire that destroyed both our equipment storage shed and concession stand. Sadly, this is the second fire to impact these same structures this year. Among our losses are batting cages, important signage, and all of our concession stand equipment, including appliances. The damage has left us without the essential resources needed to support our players and community during the upcoming baseball season.

Western Duluth Little League was founded in 1961 and is currently the oldest Little League Baseball organization still in operation in northern Minnesota. Each year, we register over 150 players ages 4-12, providing them with a safe and positive environment to learn and play baseball. Our mission goes beyond teaching strong baseball fundamentals—we strive to instill important life skills such as teamwork, sportsmanship, and a sense of belonging in every child who joins our league. For many families in western Duluth, the league is a cherished tradition and a source of community pride.

With your support, we can replace the damaged and destroyed equipment and ensure that our players have what they need for a successful and memorable season. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to rebuilding and continuing our mission. Please consider helping us restore Western Duluth Little League so we can keep making a difference in the lives of our youth.
