It is with great pride that I announce the scholarship donations of $500 each from Remax Real Estate and Judges Northridge & McGuiness that will enable our Challenger participants to play for FREE! Remax Real Estate is owned by Joe Loparo who was on our Board from 1995 to 2000 and helped us become the League we are today. Likewise, Alameda Superior Court Judge Robert McGuiness, who was on our Board during the same period, and his wife Alameda Superior Court Judge Yolanda Northridge have helped Alameda Little League become what it is today.

Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 400 remains as the Challenger team sponsor, and on Saturday at Opening Day Ceremonies we will be recognizing the imminent opening of the City of Alameda Challenger Field at Estuary Park. Alameda Little League has contributed $50,000 toward the building of that field, an investment that will be a great benefit to our program and the community. We will be honoring Amy Woolridge of Alameda Recreation and Parks Department who fought the very difficult fundraising battle to build that wonderful facility for our youth.

I look forward to honoring these donors, sponsors, and true leaders of our community!

President, Alameda Little League
