Arsonist Hit Westwood Little League But The Community Hit Back Harder

After $10,000 of damage was done to the Westwood Little League field, the community has come together to raise $11,000 and growing to replace the damaged items at the field.

An arsonist vandalized the Westwood Little League field two days ago, causing an estimated $10,000 in uninsured damage to the facility.

All in all, two portable restrooms were intentionally lit on fire, which caused damage to the fencing and the scoreboard. The people who worked in the field did the best that they could to clean up the damage before surveying how much money it would cost to repair it.

Even though significant damage was done to the field, it was ready for the Little Major Softball All-Stars District Champions game on the same day.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward repairing the damage and restoring the affected area so we can continue providing a safe place for our players to learn, compete, and grow.

Luckily, the rally for Westwood would prove to be successful, and nearly $12,000 has been raised. You can still donate by clicking this link, as they have provided a brief description of the damage.

On the afternoon of July 8, an act of arson at Westwood Little League destroyed two portable restrooms, causing significant damage to our fencing and scoreboard. While we are incredibly thankful no one was injured, the damage is estimated to exceed $10,000 and is not covered by our league's insurance.

Westwood Little League is a volunteer-run organization serving more than 500 local children each year. Every registration fee, sponsorship, and fundraiser helps provide a safe, affordable place for kids to learn the game, build friendships, and create lifelong memories.
