For more than five decades, female athletes, coaches, and volunteers have made a lasting impact both on a Little League® diamond and in their communities. Honoring these 50 years of girls and women within local league programs across the world, Little League launched its 2024 Girls with Game® 50 Grant Program in coordination with the year-long #GWG50 Celebration and the organization’s continued commitment to female inclusion.
After receiving nearly 200 applications and reviewing the needs of those leagues, Little League distributed more than $229,000 in funding to a total of 54 local league programs to help enhance the experience and provide opportunities in both league enhancement and volunteer development. Among those 54 leagues selected are Gateway LL (Mt. Sterling, Ky.); North Tahoe LL (Incline, Nev.); South Kingstown (R.I.) American LL; and Kent (Wash.) LL.
