South Orange Little League

From October 2014 through the middle part of February 2015 the kids of South Orange Little League have lost approximately $25,000.00. This money was taken from these kids. No one gave permission. It was taken by someone involved at the time. Someone we all trusted at South Orange.This league is strictly non profit  and is run by very hard working volunteers, who even through their efforts cannot replace the money that was taken.  Every dollar that is received is used to help take care of league expenses and keep these kids on the field and the equipment safe and up to date.

This money was slated for the upcoming seasons uniforms, field usage fees, concession stand and operating costs of fielding 13 teams of both baseball and softball. This includes high school down to little rookie leaguers and t-ballers down to age 4.
So at this time, our league is behind in the count with our 2015 Spring Season. Most leagues have already had their parades, opening ceremonies and threw out the first pitch to get the festivities started, not South Orange.
We have been trying to squeeze out every penny to get our season underway. Fields, lights, uniforms, equipment, stocking up the concession stand. All of this still needs to be done, We are doing everything in our power as a "baseball family" to make sure these kids have their opening day. But things are going to be tight for some time.
Our goal is to get back what was taken from them. Per Little League rules and regulations the kids are only allowed to participate in one (1) fundraising activity per season, so the kids of South Orange are reaching out to you, the public. All parents of Little Leaguers and former Little Leaguers. Baseball fans all over. They need your help! Let's help these wonderful kids get back on the fields and show the world they can't and won't be defeated!
