The Gem of our organization is our Volunteers.


Each year we spend anywhere from $14,000 to $20,000 exclusively on uniforms because we allow the children to keep their uniforms as a part of their experience. The sum does not include the costs of equipment purchases; which is not often purchased new, but secondhand. 

Sponsorship abates the annual cost of uniforms purchases and enables registration fees and other contributions to be used toward field maintenance and restoration so that our ballfields can be in a pleasant and playable condition. 

It is very important to us that our families, friends, patrons, and partners are proud to come out and enjoy a ballgame on our fields and in our community. In times past we have not been able to fully embrace such an experience due to the lack of field ownership.

However, times have changed. We are moving to renovate the Longfellow Little League fields complex at 4325 Whitcomb Street, Gary IN, 46408.

We plan to utilize these fields and host tournaments like our neighbors in Hobart, Crown Point, and East Chicago.

We are going to bring Longfellow back to life and restore our field of dreams.
