"Major League Baseball recognizes the essential role Little League plays in communities across the country," said April Brown, MLB Senior Vice President, Social Responsibility. "Collaborating with Little League to support their new Disaster Relief Fund ensures that essential resources are available when communities face setbacks due to natural disasters. MLB is proud to help this cause at the Winter Meetings auction to rapidly repair facilities, replace necessary equipment and get Little Leaguers back on the field to maintain an important element of community life.”

“When a natural disaster hits a community, and families start to recover, they often turn to their Little League fields where they can return to the comfort of their teammates and their friends and feel some sense of normalcy at a stressful time. The establishment of the Little League Disaster Relief Fund allows us to provide targeted support and guidance to leagues impacted by devastation,” said Patrick Wilson, Little League President and Chief Executive Officer. “With Major League Baseball’s assistance, we can help provide the funding and other resources, while elevating this important fund necessary to scale our efforts, enabling us to replace damaged infrastructure and equipment quickly, so that when our Little Leaguers are ready to return to the fields, the fields and equipment are ready too.”

The long-standing partnership between Major League Baseball and Little League International is dedicated to promoting and growing the game from the grassroots level to the professional stage, highlighted by joint initiatives like the annual MLB Little League Classic and the PLAY BALL program. This collaborative spirit has recently extended to a critical philanthropic effort with the Little League Disaster Relief Fund as the supported cause for this year’s Winter Meetings Auction. This fund, while new in its formal structure in 2025, provides direct financial assistance—whether for repairing fields or replacing equipment—to local leagues devastated by natural disasters like floods, hurricanes and fires. By leveraging the strength of the alliance between MLB and Little League at this year’s auction, the program ensures that Little Leaguers® can quickly return to the field, restoring a sense of normalcy and continuity to communities during their greatest times of need.

ABOUT THE WINTER MEETINGS CHARITY AUCTION

Since its inception in 2012, the Winter Meetings Charity Auction has raised nearly $2 million toward a variety of causes, including lung cancer research in honor and memory of Orioles Public Relations Great Monica Barlow; a youth baseball and softball field in memory of Mets Public Relations Great Shannon Forde; a scholarship fund in memory of the late, beloved baseball executive Katy Feeney; the Jackie Robinson Foundation and Negro Leagues Baseball Museum; and for the five organizations leading the fight against Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), otherwise known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Most recently, donations were given in support of the establishment of a new Boys & Girls Club in Uvalde, TX, a much-needed resource for Uvalde youth and their families following the aftermath of the Robb Elementary shooting in 2022, Stand Up To Cancer in 2023 and renovating Willie Mays Park in 2024.
